Florida State defensive tackle Joshua Farmer announced on Tuesday that he plans to enter the Transfer Portal. The promising defender is not in the Portal as of Wednesday morning.

This episode of On The Bench is dedicated primarily to unpacking the Farmer Saga as we try to make sense of what’s happening, why it’s happened, and what could still happen. We go big picture on Portal recruiting vs. prep recruiting, the possible fallout for FSU if Farmer leaves (does Darrell Jackson go with him) and more.

Then wrap things up with a poorly-done draft game for FSU’s 2024 recruiting class.
