FSU Secondary Rebuild: Can Youth Rise? | Florida State Seminoles Football News

Florida State’s defense is in rebuild mode, shedding youth for depth after losing key players, but with high hopes for a top-tier pass rush. Cornerback Ja’Bril Rawls, recovering from injury, and transfer safety Ma’Khi Jones are expected to anchor the secondary, while newcomers like Nehemiah Chandler and Chuck Kennon bring versatility and raw talent. Safety duo C.J. Richard Jr. and Karson Hobbs add grit and athleticism, and rover Ashlynd Barker is poised to lead the front seven, with Zae Thomas and freshman Tre Bell III ready to contribute as the staff develops their skills. Success could mean elite defense; failure might lead to high-scoring games FSU’s offense can’t match. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
