Freshmen: 33

Ahead of the fall, Florida State is basically right at the scholarship limit with 84 projected scholarships that have been allocated for the 2023 season. The roster is essentially set after the program landed Northwestern linebacker transfer Justin Cryer last week. There don't appear to be any other additions on the horizon prior to fall camp.

The Seminoles could very well be at the 85-man hard cap. It's important to note, as always, that there's uncertainty surrounding whether redshirt junior tight end Preston Daniel, redshirt junior running back Caziah Holmes, redshirt sophomore running back CJ Campbell, or redshirt freshman defensive end Dante Anderson are on scholarship. The program hasn't provided official clarification one way or the other.

Regardless, it's clear that FSU has a roster that is set up to compete this fall and in future seasons. Over half of the roster remains as underclassmen and the Seminoles are bringing in a top-ranked recruiting class in 2024.
