“We’re not done yet,” stated Verse. “See you in 2023.”

Jared Verse made an instant impact at Florida State after joining the Seminoles via the NCAA Transfer Portal last offseason, formally a member of the Albany Great Danes. In his first season with the program, Verse accumulated 47 total tackles, nine sacks and a forced fumble.

As Florida State continues it’s rise, Jared Verse wants to stick around, and he’ll be a part of their program for at least one more season.
