Locked On Seminoles - Daily Podcast On Florida State Seminoles Football & Basketball

Florida State lost an elite defensive line recruit from right in it’s backyard, to Cal! Yes, the California Bears! This is not acceptable and Mike Norvell deserves the majority of the blame. I explain why on today’s show. The Seminoles did have recent Transfer Portal success with cornerback Jeremiah Wilson coming from Houston. The Noles have more visits lined up and Locked On Seminoles will discus...

Florida State added quarterback Jaylen King, a 6-4 and 210-pound athlete with a big arm and the ability to extend plays and create yardage with his legs. What does that mean for Brock Glenn and Kevin Sperry? The Seminoles lost Markeston Douglas to the Transfer Portal, and there’s plenty of transfer news – good and bad – to discuss about Florida State football. @LO_Seminoles on X Apple Podcasts:  h...

Florida State wide receiver Hykeem Williams entered the Transfer Portal and will now visit two rival programs. Fair or foul? Lots of Transfer Portal news to discuss with the Noles, including a talented offensive lineman intending to visit Tallahassee. Florida State will see multiple players be included in the 2025 NFL Draft, including Azareye’h Thomas and Joshua Farmer. I break down their games. F...

Florida State’s Luke Loucks has done an amazing job of quickly revamping the Seminoles basketball program via the Transfer Portal. How many more transfers do the Noles need for next season? Florida State also has questions about basketball NIL. Where does FSU stand with adding the truly elite basketball transfers and high school recruits? Finally, is coach Loucks joining FSU at the right time beca...

Florida State lost more football players to the Transfer Portal. They were talented but the Seminoles have recruited over them. I break it down on Locked On Seminoles.

Finally, looking at each of FSU, Miami, and Florida, what’s going on with college football programs i...

Florida State’s wide receiver room lost three players, including Jalen Brown being the most recent. Some folks are upset about it, but it might be the best thing for all parties involved and I give my strong take on why. Transfer Portal news and moves. Several key Transfer Portal prospects could end up at FSU, and even some of the Locked On Seminoles YouTube participants sounded off about what the...

Could Florida State football land a transfer from the Miami Hurricanes? Former priority recruit Zaquan Patterson is in the Transfer Portal. I give the latest and a breakdown of Patterson’s game. Further, there are more transfers to discuss that the Noles could take a look at. With Hykeem Williams leaving (see yesterday’s breaking news show), it’s time to digest what’s happening at wide receiver. F...

Florida State saw wide receiver Hykeem Williams enter the Transfer Portal. That’s okay. I give my strong take on why FSU will benefit from Williams moving his football talents to another program. Who replaces Williams? I also define two players who need to make big steps forward and should do just that. All that and more, on Locked On Seminoles.

Florida State’s quarterback recruiting changed. They lost out on Bowe Bentley, but now the Seminoles might be able to sign a quarterback currently committed to an SEC program. Plus, there are some unique parameters with Landon Duckworth. Locked On Seminoles breaks down FSU’s quarterback recruiting and then jumps into questions as the final spring practices unfold.

Florida State lost a recent wide receiver addition after just one semester as a Seminole. While the Noles are not void of receivers, it’s a reminder that depth can be taken away. The good news, FSU football saw three wide receivers back in action during spring ball. Overall, a look at the FSU program. How I feel about FSU now as compared to just before spring ball began.

Florida State lost a former offensive line starter to the Transfer Portal. Jaylen Early was likely the first player off of FSU’s bench for the 2024 season after the Noles added four players from the Transfer Portal. The Seminoles still need offensive line depth for 2025 and beyond. How does Mike Norvell and his coaching staff build offensive line depth? Apple https://tinyurl.com/jep7yezn Spotify h...

Mike Norvell wants to “Feel Florida State football.” But what does that mean to you, as a Seminoles fan? What did Norvell mean by that and why did he bring it up during his press conference? I break down why it’s a very important topic relating to what’s perceived to be a more physical FSU team this spring. Will the Noles be physical when Alabama comes calling during Game 1 or even after a few gam...

Florida State gained a verbal commitment from cornerback Sean Johnson from Archbishop Spalding just outside of Baltimore. I really like his game and I define why on today’s Locked On Seminoles. The Seminoles are battling Miami and Florida for several in-state recruits, but where do the Noles stand in the pecking order? Finally, thoughts on Thomas Castellanos speaking with the ACC Network. Finally,...

Florida State should make a hard run at Xavier Hill, the big-time Transfer Portal offensive tackle who played for LSU and Memphis. He’s proven to be elite as an offensive tackle and as a guard. Do the Seminoles go after Hill? Do they make a run at any other spring Portal prospects? How does FSU address the quarterback depth chart? Perhaps Mike Norvell and Gus Malzahn bring in a Transfer Portal qua...

Florida State cannot seem to shake the injury bug. Expected wide receiver starter Hykeem Williams had a hand injury that will keep him out for a good while. Quarterback Thomas Castellanos could’ve certainly used more time with him to gain more chemistry, but now it’s up for players like Lawayne McCoy, Elijah Moore, Jayvan Boggs, and BJ Gibson, among others, to step up in Williams absence. The Nole...

I also explain how I would attack Florida State recruiting from a large-scale perspective. There are some Bobby Bowden traits that I share, mixed in with modern recruiting concepts. Apple http...

Florida State’s 2027 recruiting class added Kaneilius Purdy from Lake Wales (Fla.) High School. He’s one of the top receivers in his class and the nation.

Is it finally Darrell Jackson, Jr’s time? I give my...
