Summary
Florida State is onto the 2025 recruiting cycle. That means junior days and visits in the winter.
The Seminoles hosted their second Junior Day of the cycle on Saturday, and FSU also had some noteworthy prospects at the Battle Miami 7-on tournament over the weekend. Chris Nee hosts this episode to catch up with Dane Draper (who was On The Bench covering the Junior Day) and Zach Blostein (who was at Battle Miami) to get their thoughts on recruiting developments, the play of QB Tramell Jones, and more.
