FSU football: 10 players to watch for in the 2023 spring showcase
By Kelvin Hunt
Offense
AJ Duffy-I feel confident in what Tate Rodemaker can do as a backup quarterback, but I’m interested to see the progression of AJ Duffy since last year. He seems to have improved drastically by all accounts, but it’s time to see it in action with folks in the stands. I’m looking for good decision-making and no hesitation on his throws.
Winston Wright-Wright was supposed to to be a big part of the offense last season before a car wreck caused him to miss the entire season. Mycah Pittman has missed all spring and could miss some or all of the season with an injury. Wright seems back to 100 percent healthy and could be a huge part in replacing Pittman and Ontaria Wilson.
Rodney Hill-Hill is a young player a lot of folks have faith in. He’s got some great physical traits and has impressed this spring. Could he replace Treshaun Ward in the offense in 2023 with his departure to the transfer portal?
Jaheim Bell-Bell was one of the most sought after players from the transfer portal and a huge upgrade at the tight end position. He’s the best athlete they’ve had at the position in years and could add a dynamic we haven’t seen since Nick O’Leary’s production a decade ago.
Vandrevius Jacobs-Jacobs is a freshman wide receiver that should still be in high school, but he’s had an impressive spring that could catapult him to playing time in the fall. How will he perform with folks in the stands? Can he be a viable threat in the passing game and help offset the void left by Pittman’s absence?
