FSU Football: 3 Players Likely Round 1 Picks in 2024 NFL Draft

2. Jared Verse

Jared Verse will be missed at FSU. His explosiveness accounts for a lot of our success this season, especially in the ACC Championship game. While the Noles have seen many powerhouse defenders throughout the years, Jared Verse is a whole different beast, completing his college career with 23 tackles, 9 sacks, and one forced fumble.

Verse brought the pain to many opposing quarterbacks. The pressure he brought was enough to keep anybody on their toes. What sets him apart is how fast he accelerates to the backfield, a skill that has the attention of many NFL scouts. His strength to set the edge against the run is impressive and a great trait as well. With so many NFL teams centering their success around defense, Verse will likely be the first defensive player selected in the 2024 NFL Draft.
