FSU football head coach Mike Norvell hired a little-known offensive line coach/offensive coordinator Alex Atkins when he took the FSU job in December 2019.
The move has proven to be one of his best hires to date, with Atkins earning a raise and contract extension through December 31, 2023.
The offensive line showed promise in the 2020 season, despite no real offseason in the spring and summer while implementing a new offense.
The Noles were among the best rushing teams in the ACC, and quarterbacks(pre-Jordan Travis and injuries to Devontay Love-Taylor) appeared to have more time to throw.
