The countdown to the 2021 Florida State Football season is on.
The Seminoles go into the coming season with many questions, Mike Norvells second at the head of the program.
During a season shortened by a pandemic that limited the Seminoles to nine games in 2020, the FSU finished with a 3-6 record. It was the program’s worst record since FSU 3-8 in 1975, a year before Bobby Bowden arrived in Tallahassee.
Norvell and his staff inherited a roster that was the youngest in college football in terms of sub-student percentage at the end of the season. To counteract this, the Seminoles hit the transfer portal hard this off-season and brought 10 FBS transfers with plenty of experience.
Norvell is kicking off a critical second season off the program that emerged from a much more regular off-season and will seek to lead FSU to its first winning record since 2017.
Here’s a countdown look at the Democrats’ list of the top 40 FSU players for the coming season, compiled by beat writers Curt Weiler and Andre Fernandez that continues at # 4 today.
Graduate Transfer Wide Receiver Andrew Parchment
As with a number of players at the top of this countdown, we’re back to fourth place in parchment with another transfer increase.
Fair or not, parchment is following in massive footsteps on the FSU list. He arrived at FSU this summer and immediately walked into a large reception room that desperately needs his experience.

While there is potential in the unit, not enough production lately. No FSU wideout had more than 391 reception areas last year. With the loss of Tamorrion Terry this off-season, they lacked an established wide receiver for playmaking.
Insert Parchament, who called himself a “playmaker”, turned to the FSU media for the first time in May.
Perchment, originally a three-star recruit from Cypress Bay High in Fort Lauderdale, has had a winding career that led him to spend his final season at FSU.
He originally enrolled in Northern Illinois before making the move, ending up at Iowa Central Community College in Kansas after a layover.
While his numbers from his last season in 2020 aren’t particularly strong (24 catches for 197 yards and two touchdowns), his performance in the 2019 season shows what he can bring to the Seminoles.
Two years ago he amassed 831 yards and had seven touchdown catches for the Jayhawks. Given the level of talent he played at KU, he may be even more capable this season at FSU, whether it’s McKenzie Milton or Jordan Travis throwing him the ball.
