FSU football: Noles offer JUCO defensive tackle Jalen Williams

FSU football continues its search of help in the trenches on the defensive side of the ball. Their latest offer is a JUCO defensive tackle.

FSU football will lose a lot of firepower on its defensive front after the 2020 and FSU coaches are looking for immediate contributors to reload.

The coaching staff landed a commitment from Mississippi State transfer defensive tackle Fabien Lovett a few days ago.

They extended an offer to another defensive tackle from Mississippi in JUCO product Jalen Williams who’s currently at Jones County Junior College.

If that sounds familiar, it’s the same team where 2020 running back signee La’Damian Webb came from in the last recruiting cycle.

Williams checks in at 6’3″ 310 pounds and has nine offers from the likes of FSU, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Baylor, and some smaller schools. Ole Miss holds the lone crystal ball prediction on 247 Sports.

Thoughts

I like how FSU football coaches have identified the need for more help in the trenches. It was an area that deeply concerned me with the last coaching staff. The great thing about Williams and the aforementioned Lovett is they are physically ready to play and will not need to redshirt.

They also have multiple years of eligibility left, which means they can help fill the gaps until the coaching staff can land more elite trench monsters out of high school.

Ole Miss is the home team to beat more than likely, but having Webb on the team as his former teammate could help here.

I’m sure seeing Marvin Wilson being projected as a first-round draft along with Odell Haggin’s strong track record of putting defensive tackles in the league should be worth something too.

The only issue that’ll be tough to overcome is recruits not being able to visit Tallahassee this before August as of the latest updates provided by the university.
