Summary

A massive recruiting weekend is about to kick off for Florida State, with the Seminoles hosting 19 official visitors among a list of three five-star offensive linemen.

This episode of On The Bench features a rundown of who’s expected in, a show Crystal Ball, the possibility of shutting down Tramel Jones’ recruitment, more QB news…there’s a lot to get to.

But baseball deserves a hat tip and we provide a quick update on the FSU vs. ACC legal cases in this episode to get things going.

0:00.0	And the Welcome to On the bench. I am your host for this episode, Brendan Sonone, and I am flying solo for this very timely OTB,
0:31.0	because there's a lot to talk about, and that's part of why I'm doing this by myself.
0:36.8	Zach is driving up from South Florida right now.
0:40.2	Chris is currently on the bench and has been living on the bench as you can imagine with all the official unofficial visitors this week for FSU and what's been a busy week for all of us is going to kind of crescendo coming up Friday and then Sunday in our coverage of
0:55.0	fSU's monstrosity of official visitors I think it was 19 I'll check it in a bit when we
1:07.0	transition into that segment to kind of preview the official visitors coming up for this weekend. But there's a ton going on in the world of recruiting, got a potential quarterback commitment, or someone who we think is trending to Florida State coming to visit this this week actually is on campus right now for a 2026 class.
1:21.0	Get into that. Your current quarterback commit for 2025 is doing really well at the
1:25.3	Elite 11. There's other things to get into as well and just there was so much happening and felt like

1:49.6	So it's going to kind of be just a tip of the cap to everything that's going on,
1:53.3	acknowledging it, going in as much as death as possible.

2:01.5	But this will be a way to kind of keep you guys updated onto what's happening in the world of
2:06.5	FSU athletics and recruiting all across the board.
2:09.8	Before I go any further, want to give a shout out to our sponsors.
2:13.5	One, Chattanooga Whiskey.
2:15.2	Chattanooga Whiskey does an exquisite job
2:17.4	in the Craft Distillery game.
2:18.8	Their 111 foolproof is, to me, a benchmark for a value-based, affordable, high-quality, high-strength whiskey.
