If we want any easy-button answer for why FSU is 1-5 to start the 2024 season, it’s the realization not just that Jordan Travis, Jared Verse and eight others were drafted by the NFL this spring. It’s that roughly half of the 2021 and 2022 high school signees have transferred and there's not been nearly enough quantity of productive starters or depth.
“This is going to be a key class that’s going to help push our program to where we’re wanting to go,” Norvell said on the early signing day of the 2021 class.
“Very talented individuals,” Norvell said on signing day of the 2022 class. “Some elite level game-changers for our program.”
As good as Norvell’s batting average was for years in the transfer portal, there weren’t enough quality at-bats with high school recruiting in the 2021 and 2022 classes. In the first part of a two-part series examining Florida State’s last four signing classes, we focus on FSU’s classes in 2021 and ’22.
