Florida State's spring football roster is made up of nine scholarship transfers and a preferred walk-on that could make significant impacts out of the gate. One of the most highly-anticipated additions is former Western Michigan defensive lineman Braden Fiske, who has the potential to play inside and outside during his graduate transfer year with the Seminoles.

Fiske was recently named one of the top 10 returning defensive tackles for the 2023 season by PFF. It's expected that he'll be a starter or major contributor for the Seminoles this upcoming season.

On Wednesday, Fiske became the latest Seminole to partner up with The Battle's End Collective. The news was announced on social media by the collective. 

The Indiana native is the fourth transfer to publicly join forces with The Battle's End. Other players such as defensive lineman Darrell Jackson, tight end Jaheim Bell, and cornerback Fentrell 'Deuce' Cypress II have previously announced NIL deals with TBE.

The 6-foot-5, 300-pound defensive lineman was a standout at Western Michigan for five years. He appeared in 33 games, with 19 starts, totaling 148 tackles, 27.5 tackles for loss, 13.5 sacks, three pass deflections, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and a blocked kick. Fiske began his career at 6-foot-3, 240-pounds before building his frame up in a college strength and conditioning program. The growth shows his potential and work ethic.

Fiske is coming off a dominant 2022 season where he recorded a career-high 58 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, six tackles, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery in 12 starts. He started in his final 31 games with the Broncos and was named second-team All-MAC this past season. Fiske earned an 84.5 grade from PFF.

Florida State's interior defensive line is stacked with talent including Fiske, Fabien Lovett, Darrell Jackson, Malcolm Ray, and Joshua Farmer. The competition beginning in the spring should be fun to watch.
