Florida State football had a season that it wanted to forget in 2024. Fast forward to this offseason, head football coach Mike Norvell knew that changes needed to be made. As a result, a new coaching staff was formed, and transfers/recruits were added to the roster.

Last year was not the standard of what Florida State stands for. They were expecting to win a conference championship and be in a spot for the College Football Playoff. However, the fan base learned that nothing is given in today's landscape of college football.

We even learned that teams such as Indiana could be turned around in an instant, even with a rough 2024 season. Florida State understands that the schedule isn't the greatest in the world with the likes of Alabama, Miami, Clemson, Florida, and North Carolina State on the 2025 schedule, but the Seminoles seem to be ready for the challenge.

Much of the discussion has been centered around the new pieces, but what about the players on the roster last year who could have a chance to turn some heads in 2025? Let's talk about it!
