Because Florida State is undoubtedly Defensive Back University, it loses defensive backs to the draft on a regular basis.
This year was no different, with Derwin James and Tarvarus McFadden departing early for the NFL. The team also lost seniors Trey Marshall and Nate Andrews to graduation, two players who provided starting roles to the team at certain points.
However, defensive back is still the deepest position on the team despite those loses. Over the past four years, Florida State has recruited defensive backs as well as any team in the country, if not better.
