FSU football: How Keon Coleman addition upgrades 2023 offense

Parting Thoughts

The Coleman decision came down to FSU and Ole Miss. FSU has the better QB and a better chance to make the College Football Playoff in 2023. Had Coleman chosen Ole Miss, it would have been a disappointment, but he’s more of a want than a necessity.

His addition amplifies a few things: FSU has the NIL capabilities to compete with SEC teams that love to throw money around. It signals they believe this addition was worth the risk to go for it all in 2023.

There’s a lot of young receiver talent on the roster, but Wilson and Coleman will likely leave after the 2023 season. FSU will blow several teams out this year, which allows the younger talent to gain valuable reps, which will be key in their development.

A player like Kentron Poitier will still get valuable reps, which could make him a priority to retain once Wilson and Coleman leave. I also believe this addition means we could see FSU move to a more balanced attack in 2023 instead of leaning toward a more run-heavy offense.

We saw this in one season with Mike Norvell at Memphis (2017). That offense was the best Norvell’s had, averaging 45.5 ppg and 7.35 yards per play. That’s good enough to win a national title in 2023 at FSU.
