With fall camp beginning on July 30, Florida State football will get its first look at its 3-3-5 defense implemented by first-year defensive coordinator Tony White.
Some of the notable transfer players FSU acquired this offseason are James Williams, Elijah Herring, Stefon Thompson, Jayson Jenkins and Jeremiah Wilson.
After coming off a 2-10 season, Darrell Jackson, Shyheim Brown, Omar Graham Jr and Earl Little Jr are among the top returning starters on defense.
In this newly constructed defense, Mike Norvell expects the defense to be physically up to par as they prepare for Alabama in Week 1, which kicks off on Aug. 30 at 3:30 p.m. at Doak Campbell Stadium.
Here’s our projected depth chart on defense.
Defensive line
Analysis: Jackson will be leading the defensive line. Williams, who has played in White’s 3-3-3-5 scheme, will be just as impactful.
It will be interesting to see how White and D-line coach Terrance Knighton will rotate the players, especially at the JACK position, which is one of the defensive end spots. Other players to watch are Amaree Williams and freshman Kevin Wynn, who could also be key contributors.
