Florida State Seminoles target Ashton Daniels as their next quarterback, leaving questions about DJ Lagway and Anthony Calandria. Can Daniels’ leadership and playmaking transform FSU’s offense next season? Brian Smith explores the ripple effect of quarterback decisions on the Seminoles’ roster and recruiting strategy. Key talking points include Florida State’s unpredictable NIL situation, the departure of the Desir twins and Amaree Williams, and the fanbase’s calls to invest in offensive and defensive line talent. 

The discussion analyzes Daniels’ potential fit, DJ Lagway’s injury history, and Calandria’s quick exit after an FSU visit, while spotlighting how coach Mike Norvell’s recruiting challenges are impacting the program’s future. With fan opinions ranging from optimism for Daniels to skepticism about Florida State’s direction, the Seminoles face pressing questions about next season’s depth and competitiveness. Are they simply rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, or does Ashton Daniels offer a path forward?
