Florida State football continued to bolster its roster Tuesday, adding Purdue offensive lineman Bradyn Joiner just hours after landing quarterback Ashton Daniels.
Joiner, who will be the first offensive lineman to join the Seminoles this offseason, brings versatility and experience to a unit that lost all five starters from the 2025 season.

The Auburn, Alabama, native was recruited by Gus Malzahn coming out of high school. The 6-foot-1, 290-pound lineman originally signed with Auburn in 2023 and redshirted his first year.
He started five of 10 games at left guard in 2024 before moving to center and starting every game for Purdue this past season. Pro Football Focus graded him 62.7 overall, 63.2 pass blocking, and 61.7 run blocking. He allowed one sack, two quarterback hits and 26 pressures on the season.
Joiner is expected to compete for a starting role immediately as FSU rebuilds its offensive front.
