Keiondre Jones<\/b><\/b> committed to <\/span>Florida<\/b> state <\/b>on Tuesday. The massive offensive line transfer from auburn<\/strong> picked the Seminoles over <\/span>UCF<\/b>, <\/span>west<\/b> Virginia<\/b>, <\/span>Pitt<\/b>and others.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jones figures to vie for a starting spot at either left guard or right guard as the Seminoles are losing two-year starting left guard and All-ACC performer Dillan Gibbons<\/b><\/b>and are expecting to lose All-ACC Third Team right guard D’Mitri Emmanuel<\/b> ( a waiver for a 7th year has been applied for, although receiving one doesn’t sound super likely).<\/span><\/p>\n

With Jones in the fold, FSU figures to bring some serious size to the trenches. The native of LaGrange, Ga. was listed at 6-foot-4, 340 pounds on Auburn’s official website. He brings a ton of experience with him to Tallahassee, with 2.5 seasons of starting experience at Auburn. He is expected to compete for a starting offensive guard spot at FSU.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jones’ best season came in 2021 when he started every game of the season and was named PFF College All-SEC 3rd team. He received decent marks in 2020 as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

The junior did have a setback in 2022, receiving a Pro Football Focus overall grade of 53.0 while becoming more of a rotational piece than a full-time starter as the season progressed. <\/span><\/p>\n

Still, his time playing at the highest level of college football and his overall track record in the SEC makes Jones an appealing take for FSU. At his best, he’s a powerful player who moves surprisingly well at his size. Getting him to reach his upside, consistently, is going to be the task for offensive line coach\/coordinator Alex Atkins<\/b><\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jones was a Top 150 recruit nationally in the 2019 recruiting cycle and had a Composite Grade of 0.9385.<\/span><\/p>\n

He joins a transfer class that includes two other interior offensive lineman — Colorado’s<\/strong> Casey Roddick<\/b> and UTEP’s Jeremiah Byers<\/b> — as well as four-star tight ends Jaheim Bell<\/b> and Kyle Morlock<\/b>as well as four-star defensive tackle Darrell Jackson<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
