On The Bench: An FSU football podcast network

Florida State received some good news on the recruiting trail today.

And over the weekend as well.

The Seminoles landed a pledge from four-star Texas cornerback Hunter Washington on Tuesday, a few days after receiving a commitment from UCLA TE transfer Jordan Wilson. 

On The Bench goes over the recent additions in the latest episode. Plus we explain some recent attrition and the recruitment of a grad-transfer offensive tackle.

FSU could get some good news on the recruiting trail in the next several days. 

The Seminoles are trending for four-star cornerback Hunter Washington. They’re actively pursuing a pair of offensive tackles in the transfer portal. And they’re building some momentum on the academic side, which is refreshing.

On The Bench goes over a litany of recruiting topics, the possible return of football and more in the latest episode.

Few beat writers have needled the Florida State fan base quite like Safid Deen.

The former beat writer from the Tallahassee Democrat (2014-2016) and the Orlando Sentinel (2016-2018) is a Florida graduate, so that played a role in the instigation. But Deen also closely covered some important stories during a transition time for the program, and also showed outside-the-box thinking in some of his feature writing.

Deen joins On The Bench in our Meet The Beat series to explain his needling, his view on the end of the Fisher Era and more

Kornegay shares how he’s helping FSU players right now and who’s impressing him during the intense workouts in an interview with OTB.

Florida State recruiting built some positive momentum a couple weeks back, but has since seen a run of top targets commit elsewhere.
