Offensive Linemen

The program's worst unit will have nearly a complete overhaul in the 2025 season. It's way overdue after underwhelming play for the last 8+ years. Most of the guys who have started over the past 3-4 years exhausted eligibility, which is a good thing.

Veteran Florida transfer Richie Leonard will return in 2025 after missing a large part of 2024 with an injury. Andre Otto, Jacob Rizy, and Jaylen Early will return, along with several young guys who redshirted last year. Most will likely need another year to develop, which is why FSU will likely need two more players from the transfer portal.

They already have transfers Gunnar Hansen and Adrian Medley committed. FSU has several crystal ball predictions for Ole Miss transfer Micah Pettus. It's likely FSU will pursue at least one more target once more guys from the College Football Playoff teams hit the portal.

If they land Pettus, that would give them seven guys with experience. They'd like 8-10 guys they could rely on in a perfect world.
