2022 PRESEASON RAY GUY WATCHLIST: Alex Mastromanno - Florida State,...Mastromanno was a fourth-team All-ACC selection and FSU's special teams MVP in 2021 after he averaged 42.7 yards per punt with a long of 65 yards serving as FSU's primary punter for all 12 games last season. He boomed eight punts of at least 50 yards, forced a fair catch on 54.1 percent of his punts and landed 18 punts inside the 20-yard line with no touchbacks.

The Melbourne, Australia, native was the only punter among the ACC's top 10 in punting in 2021 without a touchback. In Florida State's 26-23 win at Boston College, he had four punts downed inside the 11-yard line. He forced a career-best six fair catches in FSU's 35-25 victory at North Carolina. Mastromanno has appeared in 20 games for the Seminoles and is averaging 43.0 yards per punt with 25 inside the 20-yard line and 12 of at least 50 yards. He enters 2022 with a streak of 93 consecutive punts without a touchback, dating all the way back to his first collegiate game in the 2020 season opener. - Florida State

07/25/22 - DJ Uiagalelei, rSr/2025, Florida State, 6-4, 229 (DS#32 QB) + More +

In not-so-subtle ways, the D.J. Uiagalelei who occupied the ACC Kickoff stage on July 20 stood in contrast with last year's version. One aspect was the Clemson quarterback's brown suit, which wrapped more tightly around his waist than the one he wore in 2021. Then, he weighed upwards of 260 pounds. But his current 6-foot-4, 235-pound frame was too svelte. He had to make a visit to the tailor before heading to Charlotte. Uiagalelei also switched up his jewelry. Last year, a "Big 5inco" chain rested above his tie, the presumed Heisman favorite flashing his brand. But this time, a thick gold piece shaped in the image of Jesus' face hung around his neck, accented by crystals that recreated the crown of thorns on his head. When Uiagalelei ordered the piece this spring, he told the jeweler in California, "Let's go big or go home." Uiagalelei was still center stage, still a prominent face for the ACC's premier football power. But the nature of the questions Uiagalelei received from reporters at the Charlotte Westin drew the sharpest contrast from his first visit to the ACC Kickoff a year ago.

Then, the former five-star recruit was asked about coming to Clemson to sit a year behind Trevor Lawrence, with the analogy being future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers' apprenticeship behind Hall of Famer Brett Favre in the NFL. He was pressed on the challenges of the 2021 season - but also the contents of a prospective Bojangles meal deal in his own name. This time, reporters wanted to know what went wrong. They wanted to know if this version of Uiagalelei was different than the last, because they had all watched a presumed Heisman favorite finish 15th in the ACC in passing efficiency. "I wouldn't say I have to be a better version, but just be the version of who I am," Uiagalelei said. "I understand how good I am, how talented I am. For me, I just need to go out there and show the world." - Charleston Post Courier

07/25/22 - DJ Uiagalelei, rSr/2025, Florida State, 6-4, 229 (DS#32 QB) + More +

Clemson football spent most of Wednesday answering the question that will, for better or worse, define its 2022 season: What's the deal at quarterback? Incumbent DJ Uiagalelei was Trevor Lawrence's heir apparent last summer, but his up-and-down 2021 season inspired little long-term confidence. Now his seat's even hotter thanks to the presence of highly touted freshman Cade Klubnik. Head coach Dabo Swinney threw his full weight behind Uiagalelei this week, noting how former star Clemson quarterbacks Deshaun Watson and Lawrence also made mistakes as first-time starters but Uiagalelei's were "magnified" by the injuries and offensive struggles around him.

Uiagalelei threw for 2,246 yards, nine touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 13 games last year, leading Clemson to six consecutive wins to end its season but ranking among the ACC's worst quarterbacks by standard and advanced metrics. The 6-foot-4 Uiagalelei has also lost about 30 pounds (from 265 to 235) since Clemson's December Cheez-It Bowl win over Iowa State and said he's in "the best shape of my life" entering his junior year. Still, Klubnik looms large. He's a former five-star recruit and Elite 11 MVP who led his high school to consecutive undefeated seasons and state championships in Texas' top classification. He also impressed in limited spring game action. - The State

2022 PRESEASON MAXWELL AWARD WATCH LIST: Jordan Travis, Florida State,...Travis enters his redshirt junior year after firmly establishing himself as FSU's starting quarterback during the 2021 campaign. Florida State posted a 5-3 record in games he started, and he finished the year passing for 1,539 yards and 15 touchdowns while adding 530 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. His rushing touchdowns total tied for the team lead, and he was named the team's Offensive MVP following the season. Travis finished the year ranked fifth in the ACC with a 62.9 completion percentage and was one of four ACC players to pass for at least 1,500 yards and rush for at least 500 yards. - Florida State Football

07/14/22 - Jammie Robinson, rJr/2023, Florida State, 5-11, 200 (DS#5 FS) + More +

Florida State switching Jammie Robinson and Akeem Dent to safety last season transformed the position group. After the Seminoles started 0-4, Robinson converted from nickel cornerback to free safety. Kevin Knowles II replaced Robinson at nickel and held his own for a true freshman. Knowles' play helped Robinson cement himself at safety and earn first-team All-ACC honors. Dent transitioned from cornerback to buck safety ahead of last season. He initially struggled before shining in FSU's final three games. Dent recorded four tackles and a pass breakup against Miami, his first career interception in the following game at Boston College and eight tackles to finish the season at Florida.

Not much is off the table for Robinson to accomplish this fall. Phil Steele, a renowned college football analyst, even named Robinson second-team All-America in his preseason magazine earlier this summer. After what he achieved in his first season at FSU, Robinson deserved that recognition. The South Carolina transfer led the team with 85 tackles and four interceptions. He also tallied seven tackles for a loss, three pass breakups and two forced fumbles. The 5-foot-11, 203-pound Robinson gives the Seminoles a complete safety who can handle practically any responsibility. He's effective in coverage. He's effective against the run. And he's effective from multiple positions like nickel, free safety and in the box. - Times Union

Florida State announced on Friday that it sold out of its allotment of 30,000 tickets to the football game against the LSU Tigers on Sept. 4. The Seminoles are looking to bounce back from last season's 5-7 finish as they travel to the Caesars Superdome to take on LSU in the Tigers' home opener. This will be the second game of the season for FSU, which opens at home Aug. 27 vs. Duquesne, set for 7:30 p.m. on ABC. FSU is on a four-game win streak against LSU. The last meeting between came in 1991 and resulted in a 27-16 victory for the Seminoles. - Orlando Sentinel

07/07/22 - Keiondre Jones, rSr/2025, Florida State, 6-3, 337 (DS#108 OG) + More +

Keiondre Jones is impactful for the Tigers in pass protection and run blocking. Jones was the only Tiger to start every game last season on the offensive line. Auburn had several injuries on the Plains during a rough 2021 season, but Jones remained consistent. Jones' ability to help the quarterback a clean pocket to throw from is imperative to Auburn's hope for a 2022 redemption season. Jones is a leader of an offensive line that has lots of experience playing together. Friend hopes the group makes significant strides.

"We had a goal of communication and being tied together. One of the things I think when you look at good offensive lines, the first thing that jumps out is they're tied together," Friend said. They may be wrong but if they're all wrong together, the normal person doesn't realize they're wrong. Getting tied together and just the speed of how we play, the get-off. Being able to run, we've put a huge emphasis on that. We've improved there." If Auburn can improve on the offensive line with Jones at right guard there is a reason for optimism this fall for a better season. - Birmingham News

07/03/22 - DMitri Emmanuel, rSr/2024, Florida State, 6-2, 309 (DS#36 OG) + More +

D'Mitri Emmanuel transferring to Florida State this offseason meant he reunited with the coach who helped him have a career season at the University of Charlotte. Seminole offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Alex Atkins served in the same role with the 49ers in 2019. That season marked Emmanuel's first as a full-time starter and graded as the best of his career, per Pro Football Focus. He posted an overall grade of 69.1, a 76.5 passing grade and surrendered just seven quarterback pressures all season. Atkins now has the opportunity to coach a much more experienced version of Emmanuel. The sixth-year graduate transfer has started 24 games since his season with Atkins, the most among all FSU offensive linemen. Emmanuel also garnered third team All-Conference USA honors from Phil Steele in 2019 and 2020.

Beyond experience, Emmanuel gives the Seminoles flexibility. As a smaller offensive lineman at 6-foot-2, 300 pounds, Emmanuel projects best on the interior. But he could play other positions if needed. At Charlotte, Emmanuel started at left tackle, right tackle and left guard. Right guard seems to make the most sense for Emmanuel at FSU. Left tackle Robert Scott Jr. and left guard Dillan Gibbons are expected to be locks as starters, while Kayden Lyles and Maurice Smith are competing for the No. 1 center job. - Charlotte Observer

Florida State safety Jammie Robinson has been named to the preseason All-American second team by the Phil Steele College Football Preview magazine. Robinson, a redshirt junior who appeared in all 12 games last season after transferring from South Carolina, was the only Seminole to earn All-American honors. He also joined five FSU teammates on Steele's preseason All-ACC team. Joining Robinson (first team) was punter Alex Mastromanno (second team), offensive lineman Dillan Gibbons (third team), punt returner Mycah Pittman (third team), tight end Camren McDonald (fourth team) and defensive tackle Robert Cooper (fourth team). Robinson led the team with 85 tackles and four interceptions last season. - Orlando Sentinel

06/29/22 - Jazston Turnetine, rSr/2023, Florida State, 6-6, 331 (DS#53 OT) + More +

When Jazston Turnetine decided to wrap up his college football career after five seasons at South Carolina, the redshirt offensive lineman entered his name into the transfer portal in search of a new home. While the process was hectic, Turnetine eventually found a perfect fit at Florida State. "In the process of being in your final year of college football," Turnetine said, "you look for the people who are paying attention to details, who are telling you, 'Hey, these are your problems and this is how we're going to fix it."

The 6-foot-7, 335-pound Turnetine isn't interested in all the glitz and glamour that can sometimes entice a young recruit toward a school. "When you're older, it's like, 'What is this coach's background? What does he have to offer to me? Where are the NFL connections? Where's the more experience?'" he said. "When you're older, you're into your craft more. You're paying attention to the details. You're looking for lifelong friends, not just football. It's not just a football life when you're older." After appearing in 18 games at left tackle with the Gamecocks from 2020-21, Turnetine hopes to bring experience and depth to FSU's roster. It's a roster that's undergone tremendous change since the arrival of coach Mike Norvell, particularly on the offensive line, where the Seminoles have retooled with a mix of newcomers and veterans. Turnetine is the fourth offensive line transfer to join the team this offseason, along with Bless Harris (Lamar), Kayden Lyles (Wisconsin) and D'Mitri Emmanuel (Charlotte). - Orlando Sentinel

Florida State welcomed two new additions in offensive lineman transfer Jazston Turnetine and freshman defensive lineman Ayobami Tifase to its 2022 football roster. Turnetine spent two seasons at South Carolina, where he appeared in 18 games (10 starts) for the Gamecocks between 2020-21. He started seven games last season, helping the team earn a spot in the Duke's Mayo Bowl in the first season under coach Shane Beamer.

The 6-foot-7, 335-pound lineman, was a three-star prospect out of Stockbridge (Georgia) High in 2018 and began his college career at Hutchinson (Kansas) Community College, where he earned second-team, All-American status while helping lead the Blue Dragons to a 10-win season and a bowl appearance. He signed with South Carolina after receiving offers from Arizona, Missouri, Houston and SMU. "Jazston has tremendous size with great power and athleticism," FSU coach Mike Norvell said in a statement Tuesday. "His starting experience in big games and his skill set immediately increases the competition among our offensive line group." Turnetine becomes the 12th overall transfer to join the FSU program this offseason. - Orlando Sentinel

06/21/22 - Jordan Travis, rSr/2024, Florida State, 6-1, 203 (DS#10 QB) + More +

After so many years of FSU quarterback battles, it's got to be quite nice for that to be sorted out for the Seminoles. In his first three years at FSU, Travis has come incredibly far. The Louisville transfer didn't factor into the playing time conversation at all when he arrived. Even once he got on the field late in the 2019 season, he was used almost exclusively as a runner. But there's no denying now that Travis has grown into quite a quarterback for the Seminoles.

He's been FSU's midseason savior at quarterback each of the last two seasons, taking over three games into the 2020 season and beating out McKenzie Milton to claim the full-time job a few weeks into the 2021 season. In 2020, Travis relied more on his athleticism, rushing for a team-high 559 yards and seven touchdowns. He completed just 55% of his passes and had as many interceptions as he did passing touchdowns (6). Travis' athleticism was still a factor in 2021 and should still be in 2022. But the most promising development was the notable step forward he took as a passer. Last season, he completed 122 of 194 passes (62.9%), throwing nine more touchdowns (15) and the same number of interceptions as he did in 2020 on 63 more pass attempts. - Times Union
