Defensive Back
CB. 4 Star. Charles Lester III. CB. A
4 Star. Jamari Howard. CB. A. CB
4 Star. Ricky Knight III. CB. A. CB
CB. A. CB. 4 Star. Cai Bates
FSU hit a homerun here, yes we lost KJ Bolden but that doesn't matter because getting 4 solid playmakers like this is was essential. Charles Lester is a Deion type player and will see playing time as a freshman in my opinion. Howard could move to safety, but he is a great player at CB and safety. I really like Ricky Knight and Cai Bates, both are great players.
Final Thoughts
Again I will say this is Mike Norvell's best class so far. I will not dwell on the losses of this class but we got players who were loyal to Norvell and that shows a lot about their character. There are so many great players in this class who will help FSU continue to be a title contender. I assume there will be some additions via the portal and late signing period.
