FSU football: 3 ways McKenzie Milton can impact Nole program

Playermaker

Milton completed 62 percent of his passes at UCF, throwing for 8,683 yards, with 72 touchdowns and 22 interceptions in 33 career games. He also had 285 rushes for 1,078 yards and 20 touchdowns.

That’s a ton of production and gives him instant credibility with a new group of players. Some FSU commits were already reacting to the news of him committing.

I understand Milton is coming off of a devastating injury, but he’s been cleared by doctors and has been doing football related activities with UCF this year.

It’s a calculated risk, but it’s a contact sport and injuries can happen at any time. Even if he’s not as fast, there’s still a difference between Milton and Jordan Travis. Travis depends on his legs to make plays, and when that’s taken away, he’s not near as effective as a player.

As you can see from the highlight, Milton can make plays with his arm. He’s more advanced as a passer, so those fearing him getting hurt while running again can take solace that he doesn’t have to run all the time.

He has a quick release and can make the throws necessary to make Mike Norvell’s offense as explosive as his Memphis day’s. We’ve seen the FSU offense when Jordan Travis was healthy. Can you imagine what it could look like with someone that can make all of the throws?
