FSU football: Top 15 most important defensive players for 2024 season
By Kelvin Hunt
No. 10 Sione Lolohea-DE
Oregon State defensive end transfer Sione Lolohea seems to be a forgotten man since transferring in the spring. However, he's going to be a valuable part of the FSU defense in 2024. A former Second-Team All-Pac 12 performer, Lolohea will help anchor the edge against the run while looking to improve his stock as a pass rusher. If we learned anything from the Orange Bowl, it was the young defensive ends were not capable of setting the edge in the run game. Lolohea can be a starter or a guy who rotates in without a significant drop-off.
I don't expect Lolohea to have the same impact Braden Fiske had(because he missed most of the spring and dealt with a shoulder injury), but I wouldn't be shocked to see fans shouting him out towards the end of the season because of his impact and how he plays the game. Lolohea adds a significant piece to this FSU defense at an impact position.
