Jahzare Jackson is an OT prospect, played in OTE. He’s huge, 6-11/322. Interested to see him in positional drills.

FSU LB commit Gregory Batson (Gregory Batson Jr.) part of a really solid LB duo at Lee. He’s vocal out there, wins with smarts. Had an awesome rep covering Upshaw on a wheel route. FSU has the last of two OVs. Mississippi State is making a run at the 89-grade LB.

There's still a ways to go until he commits on July 1, but FSU enters OV season in a great spot for 4-star WR Jabari Watkins (Jabari Watkins). FSU is at the "very top right now" with four OV coming up for Watkins. More on his recruitment at Noles247:

A ton of "culture plays" from FSU's blowout win over ETAM. But one of my favorites was seeing the reaction from Justin Cryer and Elijah Herring on the sideline when Ashton Bracewell got this 4th-down stop.

Two of FSU's pricier players weren't optimal fits for the Inside Zone Run Scheme that Gus Malzahn leaned on so heavily. Horizontal runs are their speciality. Why a philosophical change in the run game makes sense given what FSU has:

If I'm FSU, it's an all-out push for DT Lee Hunter (UCF transfer). Great size (6-4/320), production, and effort at a position of need. Watch No. 2 hustle below... Hunter highlights the list of recent Portal entries who FSU should have interest in:

I started this story looking at ways in which Gus Malzahn creatively got Randy Pittman the ball last season despite inconsistent QB play. That's still what it's about. But also, I finished it really, really liking Pittman. He makes plays and plays hard.

UF had a player trying to go at it with FSU's team ortho doc after the Rodemaker penalty. Why are UF players even that close to an injured player? The lack of discipline last night, in totality, has to be alarming if you're a UF fan.

FSU’s finances mentioned by POTUS early in today’s discussion. The school’s BoT chair pushed back at coverage of the $400+ million debt last week, pointing to projects that he believes will lead to income and equity:

“No, no, no.” Norvell getting in veteran RB Tre Wisner for detail on catch point. I do love hearing coaches coach. Often interesting, sometimes cracks me up. Sounds like a disappointed parent here 😂

I put down some thoughts on Malachi Marshall's game. He's got some gunslinger to him with good improv ability and a quick release. Marshall is a fun watch, will be fascinating to watch him develop:

Watching through a few of FSU's offensive commits from last 24 hours, I thin the ECU TE is a good fit for what they'll try to do schematically with screens and YAC stuff. Intrigued by the Purdue OL as well if he can regain some athleticism from '24.

A wild f’ing scene in Doak. It’s been nothing but mostly misery since Dec. of 2023. So most of Doak was ready for the party at midfield.

FSU extended two offers to WR transfers this weekend (within a day after dismissing projected two-deep contributor Jalen Brown). In terms of fit, I think BYU's Keelan Marion makes a ton of sense. He's a plus athlete with wiggle for Malzahn's sweep game.
