Summary

Florida State ended 2022 in style, with a fun 35-32 win over Oklahoma. And it started 2023 with a bang, retaining standout defensive tackle Fabien Lovett while landing a commitment from elite cornerback transfer Fentrell ‘Deuce’ Cypress.

This episode of On The Bench is sizable, going over the return of Lovett and the addition of Cypress. But first we dive into the bowl win, FSU’s remarkable culture, and dive into a nuanced discussion on both the defense under Adam Fuller and the Transfer Portal.

Oh, we also play some Buy or Sonnone (thanks to The Turner Group!!!) and drop some intel on a few remaining portal targets.
