In-state defensive lineman lists Florida State Seminoles in top-5

The 'Noles are in a good spot with the talented defensive lineman.

Florida State is continuing to try and build talent and depth at its defensive line. The biggest step for the Seminoles is staying ahead in next year's class and to build a reliable stable of linemen on the defensive side of the ball. Something like what offensive line coach Alex Atkins did on the other side for his line in the 2022 class. 

One of the top defensive linemen in the 2023 class released his top 5 on Christmas Eve night. John Walker from Kissimme, Florida put the 'Noles in his list along with Alabama, Ohio State, Penn State, and UCF.
