OT JOHNNIE JONES

Florida State's offensive line has been night and day better than the 2024 season as former position coach Alex Atkins is at LSU, and current coach Herb Hand is at the helm.

The Seminoles have a talented haul of offensive linemen in this recruiting cycle, featuring Da'Ron Parks, Jakobe Green, Michael Ionata, and Luke Francis. With that said, there isn't a true offensive tackle in that group.

The offensive tackle position will be vital in protecting the quarterback of the future: Kevin Sperry, Brock Glenn, or Jaden O'Neal (if he signs with Florida State).

Four-star offensive lineman Johnnie Jones is someone who could likely give Florida State another look, since the UCLA Bruins are struggling so mightily on the field. However, it has been a challenge to get Jones on campus since he had an unofficial visit in the summer.

If the offensive line continues to perform like it has, the Florida native could be in the Garnet and Gold in the near future.
