FSU football: Storylines and names to watch after spring camp week five

This week being the last week, I figured I would finish this series with who I thought performed the best throughout. This page will be a list with about five or so players and a couple of words about them.

Jordan Travis and Mackenzie Milton: Both performed well in the spring game and have elevated the team all off-season. Travis did well enough and drastically improved to keep his job for now. I think we still have to wait and see until real bullets play to see if the changes to his game hold. Milton has been a welcomed contributor and competitor and might force the coaches to consider a two-quarterback system.

Early Enrollees: I couldn’t decide between Joshua Burrell, Malik McClain, and Kevin Knowles, so I lumped them together. All of them have grown and improved exponentially in the spring and carved themselves a role into the first rotations moving forward.
Jermaine Johnson: He received praise every week, and every week he deserved it. He is the true definition of an impact transfer, both on and off the field.

Kentron Poitier: I think he showed what he can do and needs to be more consistent. He did have a couple of drops, but it was the type of jump you’d expect from a second-year player. I think Bryan Robinson can join him should he finally get healthy.

The Mississippi Brothers: I am calling Jarrian Jones and Fabian Lovett the Mississippi Brothers because like the Mario Brothers, they have improved and advanced collaboratively. Jones finally got healthy and displayed more explosiveness, and made a big leap during the spring. Lovett got the fireball mushroom and destroyed the decimated offensive line, and set himself apart. He has great skill and will be a force of nature.

Honorable Mentions: Keyshawn Helton, Dennis Briggs, Akeem Dent, Amari Gainer, Camren McDonald.

I had to mention them because the jumps each of them have made personally impressed me. Helton is healthy, and it shows as he is now a more well-rounded weapon and regained his explosiveness. Briggs made a massive jump. When Dent was healthy, he was better, especially in the spring game.

Gainers position transition looked seamless. McDonald had been a man on a mission all offseason, and we could see him have a break-out year and swing it into a high draft position. He’ll need to be a factor in the passing game with the wide receiver group being so thin and inexperienced.
