Former FSU Football Star Meets with Tampa Bay Buccaneers At NFL Combine
With the 2024 NFL draft fast approaching, former players have been busy trying to improve their draft stock in all-star games and meeting with teams ahead of Day One on April 25.
Among them, former Florida State wide receiver Keon Coleman and defensive end Jared Verse are expected to go in the first round. Notably, former FSU star defensive tackle Braden Fiske has seen a significant rise on multiple draft boards, following an impressive performance in the Reese's Senior Bowl.
Draft Network Analyst Ryan Fowler reported that Fiske officially met with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers whose first three picks are at No. 26, No. 57, and No. 89 before trades. The Bucs could be looking to bolster their defensive front although they may be looking at the OLB position early on.
Florida State IDL Braden Fiske met formally with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a source said.
One of the premier interior rushers in the class, Fiske has also spent time with the Colts and Ravens.
The 6'3'' 300-pound defensive tackle was a one-year transfer out of Western Michigan and was the No. 1 transfer prospect at his position according to 247Sports. He appeared in 13 games at FSU amassing 43 tackles and six sacks while adding 147 tackles and 13.5 sacks during his time with the Broncos.
Although Tampa Bay is an intriguing option, Fiske recently said in an NFL Combine interview that he feels he has met with all 32 teams throughout the process.
