FSU football: 5 blue-chip players from 2017 that need to shine in 2020
By Kelvin Hunt
Joshua Kaindoh
Joshua Kaindoh is the highest-ranked player from 2017 that’s had arguably the least impact. Kaindoh signed with FSU as the No. 10 player and No. 3 defensive end in the nation in 2017.
Think about that, Kaindoh was ranked a top 10 player in his class, and he’s totaled 45 total tackles (eight sacks) in three seasons. However, six of those eight sacks have come against the likes of Delaware State and Wake Forest.
It should be noted it looked as though he was going to be a player through two games of the season in 2019. However, he once again was bitten by the injury bug and lost for the season after getting injured against Virginia in the third game.
The defensive end position is one of the spots on the team that needs to see the most improvement.
A healthy Kaindoh would go a long way to filling that void, as the Noles had zero pass rush off the edge.

Here’s to hoping he can finally stay healthy and live up to his No. 10 overall ranking coming out of high school in his final year.
