Jared Verse, Keon Coleman Named Top-25 Prospects In 2024 NFL Draft By ESPN
The Florida State Seminoles have two of the top 25 prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Field Yates of ESPN recently released his list of the top 25 prospects for the NFL Draft as well as individual position rankings. According to Yates, Florida State's Jared Verse and Keon Coleman are two of the 25 best players in this year's draft.
Yates has Verse ranked No. 17 on his prospects list.
"Verse helped catalyze what was one of the best defenses in college football, earning All-America honors and finishing with a surge," Yates wrote. "He compiled 4.5 of his nine sacks in his final two games. Verse has a rocked-up frame with long levers for arms that allow him to easily get into the body of opposing tackles. When he is able to land his hands into the chest plate of an opposing tackle, a quarterback pressure or sack often follow thanks to his excellent in-line strength."
Verse is projected to go in the first round of the NFL Draft according to Bleacher Report.
Rounding out Yates' list of 25 prospects is Keon Coleman, FSU's former stud wide receiver.
"Coleman has a power forward feel on the field; he's simply too strong and large for most defensive backs to handle one-on-one," Yates wrote. "His ability to high-point the ball helped him become one of the best red zone threats in the country, as he turned 11 of his 50 catches into touchdowns last season."
Yates also continued listing FSU players in his position rankings, with Trey Benson ranking No. 2 among running backs, and Jaheim Bell ranking No. 1 among fullbacks.
