FSU football: 10 major questions heading into 2024 fall camp

Which Players Step Up On The Offensive Line To Provide Depth?

We've been saying the offensive line will improve every year in the Mike Norvell era. They have in many areas but never seem to fully become what we hope due to injuries or depth issues. This season could be the year we finally see it come to fruition. It's the biggest FSU offensive line in years, and all of the young guys who were thrust into action way too early are full veterans now. The question is, can the talented guys who joined the program a few years ago finally crack the rotation? I'm talking about guys like Bryson Estes, Jaylen Early, and Julian Armella.

If those guys stepped up, that would be a solid eight-man rotation. That's ideally what the coaches would like. Could redshirt freshmen Lucas Simmons or Andre Otto find some meaningful reps? The latter is more wishing than anything, but FSU must get to a spot where they can get players developed and contributing quickly. It usually takes at least one year for most offensive linemen, but if they have blue-chip offensive linemen signing, they need to get them on the field.
