Non-Impact

This category is the longest list, so I figured I’d begin here. These are the players who either never played, barely played, or managed to play here and there but were mostly injured or just terrible.

  • AJ Lytton: 4-star DB (Dismissed)
  • Warren Thompson: 4-star WR (Transfer Portal)
  • Xavier Peters: 4-star LM (Transfer Portal)
  • Malcolm Lamar: 4-star DE (Transfer Portal)
  • Isaiah Bolden: 4-star DB (Transfer Portal)
  • Christian Meadows: 4-star OL (Medical DQ)
  • Jordan Young: 3-star WR
  • Anthony Grant: 3-star RB (Transfer Portal)
  • Christian Armstrong: 3-star OL (Transfer Portal)
  • D’Marcus Adams: 3-star WR (Transfer Portal)
  • Jamarcus Chatman: 3-star DT (Transfer Portal)
  • Jalen Goss: 3-star OL
  • Chaz Neal: 3-star OL

That’s 62 percent of the class. Jordan Young still has a chance to become a contributor and has battled injuries a lot of his time in Tallahassee. He’s tallied 11 receptions for 146 yards over after redshirting in 2018. Jalen Goss has struggled to add the size needed to play offensive tackle. Chaz Neal was someone many thought wouldn’t stay in the class after committing to Jimbo Fisher. He has the size but is still trying to develop into a player that can contribute.
