FSU Football Dial: The Pursuit of QB Carter Smith can grow after losing TRAMELL JONES – AOL

Florida’s football (1-9, 1-7) is the next defender.

Smith is the second ranked defender in USA Today Florida Top 100 and No. 32 as a whole. Fort Myers -born retired from Michigan last month, letting FSU close in the four -star QB to compensate for Jones loss.

Smith has 21 offers, including the three best weights in Florida: Miami, FSU and UF. FSU was Smith’s third suggestion, which he received on December 7, 2022.

He plans to make his official visit on November 30, when Seminoles face Gators in the final of their season.

This season, Smith threw himself for 1299 passing yards, 12 touchdowns and four intercepts. It also has 480 fast yards and 12 quick results. Bishop Trew is 7-3.
