DJ Uiagalelei

What can we expect from DJ Uiagalelei in 2024? I'm on record stating it'll be his best year in his career. If Uiagalelei realizes and maximizes his potential, we could see FSU go undefeated again. If he struggles with inaccuracy and refuses to use his legs at times, the FSU offense could struggle more than we think. It all comes down to the FSU coaches putting him in positions to maximize what he does well. He doesn't turn the ball over much, doesn't take many sacks, and generally knows where to go with the ball.

It could be as simple as not forcing things and letting Alex Mastromanno punt, flip the field, and allow the defense to get the ball back to the offense quickly. There are only a handful of games where this aspect could come into play. FSU will be better in the trenches than probably 80% of the schedule. Can DJ Uiagalelei be a difference-maker in those games that could be close in the second half? That aspect could be the difference in a couple of wins or losses. FSU fans know that because they saw Jordan Travis be that guy over the past few years.
