**Florida State Football and Recruiting Update: Defensive Back Target Announcement Today**
Mike Norvell has been named to the Dodd Trophy Coach of the Year watchlist, a testament to his leadership.
An insightful article by Jon highlights the ongoing renovations at Doak Campbell Stadium and discusses the evolving landscape of college football, noting the decline in 90,000-plus fan stadium capacities.
Phil Steele has recognized two FSU defensive ends in his top ten position rankings, showcasing the team’s defensive strength. Patrick Payton, in particular, is expected to be a standout on the Seminoles’ defensive line this season.
With Jared Verse’s departure, Payton, the 2022 ACC Rookie of the Year, aims to step up and draw NFL Draft attention. In his college career, Payton has played in 28 games, tallying 75 tackles, 20.5 tackles for loss, 12 sacks, 13 defended passes, and three forced fumbles, making him a compelling prospect.
The newest Seminoles players are already making positive impacts in the community.
Norvell aims to achieve back-to-back Dodd Coach of the Year awards, which would make him the first repeat winner in the award’s history.
