The breakdown of FSU football players in each class continues as Seminoles.com's Brandon Mellor takes a look at the Seminoles' sophomores entering the 2012 season.
Jimbo Fisher said it as much: Rashad Greene needs more touches in 2012. And as long as it helps FSU compete for a championship, the star receiver is all for it, writes Brandon Mellor.
A deep group of veterans and some high-profile underclassmen highlight FSU's receiving core while Nick O'Leary takes over the tight end position this spring.
Seminoles.com Senior Writer Brandon Mellor breaks down FSU's returning offensive players and looks at the 'Noles' needs on that side of the ball heading into National Signing Day 2012.
2011 OUTLOOK
One of the top athletes out of high school in 2009, who redshirted last season, but is expected to contribute in 2011. Converted run-pass quarterback who has made an easy transition to the wide receiver spot due to his ability to digest the offense as he did as a signal caller. Shined during spring practice capping off the Garnet & Gold game with four catches for 35 yards for the Garnet. Stands out from a group of talented newcomers at receiver because of his stature.
