With the start of Florida State's preseason camp, the anticipation for the Seminoles' 2024 campaign is building. As the team begins its preparations, the focus turns to the offense and the potential it holds for the upcoming season.
At the helm of the FSU offense is Luke Kromenhoek, an Oregon State transfer who has impressed coaches with his steady performance during the spring. With 2,521 passing yards and 22 touchdowns to his name in 2022 at Clemson, and 2,638 passing yards and 21 touchdowns, Kromenhoek has proven himself to be a reliable manager of the offense. The Seminoles will look to build their offensive strategy around his arm strength.
In the backfield, Alabama transfer Kam Davis brings stability as a power runner. With 560 yards and 5 touchdowns in the previous season, Davis has showcased his quickness and ability to seal games. However, the running back position boasts depth, with Holmes being a valuable asset as a third-down back due to his blocking and receiving skills. Furthermore, the coaching staff holds high hopes for freshman Kam Davis, who is expected to earn meaningful reps by the end of the season.
The receiving corps presents some uncertainties, with unknowns surrounding the ability to win 1-on-1 matchups. Poitier, who battled a nagging knee injury last year, has shown flashes of explosiveness but remains inconsistent in catching the ball. Williams, a former five-star recruit, had an ankle sprain in his rookie campaign but has immense potential. The true freshman Elijah Moore has generated positive praise, but relying on a newcomer at such a crucial position poses a risk.
Darion Williamson, a redshirt senior, and Jalen Brown, a redshirt freshman, offer promising options for the Seminoles at wide receiver. Benson, an Alabama transfer, has caught the attention of FSU coaches with his speed and fluidity. Williamson, who has battled injuries throughout his career, is healthy and looking to make a breakthrough. Brown, a transfer from LSU, impressed during the spring and is expected to join the rotation this season.
In the slot position, Douglas brings stability and has amassed 737 career receiving yards over the last four seasons. He offers reliable production and the possibility of gadget plays. Another intriguing prospect to watch out for is Lawayne McCoy, known for his agility and highly regarded within the FSU team.
As FSU's offense gears up for the 2024 season, it is apparent that talent is not lacking. However, the key factors to success will be avoiding injuries and maintaining consistency. The Seminoles are banking on the depth and freshman talent to elevate their offensive game and make strides towards a successful season.
Preseason camp is just the beginning, and fans eagerly await the upcoming season to see how the FSU offense takes shape and makes its mark on the field.
