Florida State offers all-conference OT

Dec 6, 2022 - 12:15 AM

Early Monday evening, UTEP offensive lineman Jeremiah Byers was offered by Alex Atkins, Mike Norvell, and the Florida State Seminoles football program:

Byers is a 6’4 331 pound tackle originally from Austin, Texas and attended L.C. Anderson High School.

Since entering the portal earlier today, Byers has received P5 offers from the Maryland Terrapins, Miami Hurricanes, and Texas Tech Red Raiders, and I’d expect that list to multiply quickly.
