FSU football: Improved or not? Position rankings compared to 2022
By Kelvin Hunt
Offensive Line Improved Over 2022
The offensive line was better in 2022 than it was in 2021, despite dealing with injuries to several players and a lack of depth.
However, much like the wide receivers, the coaching staff took to the transfer portal to add experience and physically ready bodies to add to that unit in 2023.
The additions of Jeremiah Byers, Casey Roddick, and Keiondre Jones, help give the Noles rotation of up to 10 capable bodies to rotate.
They all have years of college experience, and enrolled in the spring to maximize time to learn the offense.
They all can play multiple positions, and the guys from the 2022 recruiting class will begin to push for playing time in blowouts, which will help them develop for next year.
Maurice Smith has added some much-needed weight and is still fighting to hold on to his starting position at center.
The added size overall should help the FSU offense in predictable situations where they’ve failed to move the line of scrimmage in past years. This could be the best offensive line FSU has had since 2015-16.
