On The Bench: An FSU football podcast network

Florida State picked up a commitment from Junior College tight end Koby Gross this week.

On The Bench breaks down how Gross will fit in at FSU in the latest episode. Plus we go over the departure of Anthony Grant, the possibility of renaming Doak Campbell Stadium and more.

Our ‘Meet The Beat’ series has afforded us to get to better know the writers, reporters and hosts behind Florida State coverage in the market.

OTB conducted interviews with legends of the FSU beat (like Jeff Cameron), current-day beat writers (Wayne McGahee), trendsetters (Ingram Smith) and others during the series. 

We wrap up the series by having some of our favorite guests interview us, the staff at Noles247. For fans of the show and the website, this will give you a chance to get to know us better.

247Sports released its updated rankings for the 2021 recruiting class, and a couple Seminoles saw a sizable bump.

Luke Altmyer jumped up in the rankings as much as any three-star quarterback, and there still appears to be room for growth in the rankings. 247Sports national recruiting analyst Bud Elliott gives an in-depth look on how Altmyer and other FSU recruits were evaluated during this batch of updates.

You have questions about Florida State, we have answers.

Josh Newberg, Chris Nee and Brandon Sonnone of Noles247 answer listener questions about the state of FSU’s recruiting, the program’s outlook and expectations in 2020, and more in the latest episode of On The Bench.

Florida State remains productive on the recruiting trail, having landed two commitments in the past three days: CB Omarion Cooper and OL Bryson Estes.

This puts FSU at seven commitments since mid-May.

On The Bench goes over the latest additions to FSU’s class, where the ‘Noles go from here, Marvin Wilson’s interview with the ACC Network and more.

Florida State went through an emotional day in which apologies were issued, feelings were expressed, and -- hopefully -- growth occurred. 

A Tweet from star defensive tackle Marvin Wilson sparked a national conversation about the words coach Mike Norvell used to describe his program’s response to the social unrest occurring throughout the country.

On The Bench recaps the developments that occurred throughout the long day.

Florida State is on a roll on the recruiting trail. 

The Seminoles, since Friday, have landed commitments from Mississippi State transfer Fabien Lovett and Jarrian Jones, and three prep prospects (TE Jackson West, LB Jordan Eubanks and WR Joshua Burrell). 

On The Bench is back to give you insight into how FSU sifted through some complicated waters to land Lovett and Jones, what to make of the three prep commits, and report on the return to football workouts.

Florida State is trending in the right direction for priority prospects Jackson West and Joshua Burrell. The grad transfer market remains a place of interest when it comes to vetting offensive linemen.

And Ole Miss was kind of a pain for FSU in the past week. Through the ups and downs of recruiting, Noles247 has you covered in our latest episode of On The Bench.

Combining a passion for Florida State and in-depth knowledge of the program’s history, Wayne McGahee has established himself as one of the main authorities on FSU athletics.

McGahee joins On The Bench in our Meet The Beat series to discuss his growth as a journalist, covering the chaos of this past year’s coaching search, some of the difficulties of covering a team for the local paper and more.

Florida State added to its 2021 recruiting cycle with the commitment of three-star cornerback Kevin Knowles.

On The Bench provides an analysis on Knowles and what FSU’s defensive backs board looks like following the pledge in the latest episode.

Plus we discuss the reason for optimism with this 2021 class, the latest on OT grad transfer Jarrid Williams and more
