Florida State defensive end Jared Verse made a pros and cons list as he weighed his future over the last two weeks, trying to determine whether to leave school and become a potential first-round NFL pick, or stay for one more year and improve.
Ultimately, Verse decided he wanted another year with the Seminoles, he announced Saturday, joining quarterback Jordan Travis, leading rusher Trey Benson, leading receiver Johnny Wilson and several others who have already announced they would be back in 2023. His decision, though, may come as a bit of a surprise to some.
