FSU football: Projected defensive skill spring depth chart
By Cole Maines
Buck Safety: Travis Jay, Jammie Robinson, Sidney Williams
Field Safety: Brendan Gant, Renardo Green, Jadarius Green-McKnight
Travis Jay improved a lot as the season went on and he got healthy. The former Top 150 prospect has shown a lot of promise and could make a massive jump whether he is at nickel or safety.
Williams was a late addition in the 2020 recruiting class and saw snaps later in the season. Can he find more playing time in 2021?
I see Gant and Green as a 1A and 1B. I favor Gant more because of his physicality and ability to have a nose for the ball.
However, Green does better in coverage. Green played in all 13 games as a true freshman and started the first five games before an injury sidelined him.
One unknown variable is Jadarius Green-McKnight. He saw action in five games last season and reminds me of Jammie Robinson in terms of size and ability.
The back-end of secondary has talent, now it’s all about becoming disciplined in their assignments and proper communication.
