FSU football: Laying the groundwork for future QB recruiting

Future QB Offers

Here’s how the competition stacks up with the Noles:

Miami

• 2023 offers: 6
• 2024 offers: 2

Florida

• 2023 offers: 4
• 2024 offers: 2

Clemson

• 2023 offers: 1
• 2024 offers: 0

FSU

• 2023 offers: 12
• 2024 offers: 11

Clemson can afford to be highly selective with where they are as a program. However, that’s not the case with Miami and Florida, as both have been mediocre programs and failed to take advantage of FSU’s self-inflicted wounds.

Those days could be over, and if that’s the case, FSU laying the groundwork with these early offers could be a shift in the balance of power in Florida.

Recruiting is all about relationships, and the FSU coaching staff have gotten a ton of recruits on campus in the past two weeks. Recruits remember who offered them early, and those relationships matter when it comes to them choosing a school to commit to.

The FSU coaching staff is simply outworking the competition on the recruiting trails.

One name that’s trending for FSU is 2023 Chris Parson:

Games are won in the trenches, but good quarterback play can hide a lot of issues. Heck, a good running back can do some of that as well, look at how Dalvin Cook carried the Noles in 2015 and 2016. It’s the same blueprint Clemson used before they became elite. Dabo Swinney got his No. 1 targets at QB and wide receiver and began to get other elite players in the trenches later.
