The Seminoles are welcoming 63 new players to the roster, with most of those newcomers making it to Tallahassee back in January.
This is an extremely young team. 63.6% of the roster are underclassmen entering the fall, including a whopping 52 freshmen. 36 of those freshmen just signed with Florida State back in December or February.
As things stand, FSU is actually over the 105 roster limit, as the program is currently carrying 110 players. That shouldn't be an issue, as any player who was on the team last year or recruits who were committed and unsigned at that time are grandfathered into the rules for the remainder of their college careers.
Let's take a look at the projected roster and where the numbers stand as of now.
