Final offensive stats for Florida State during the 2023 college football season
The Florida State football 2023 season is in the books with a 13-1 record.
The Seminoles capped off a perfect regular season with an ACC Championship victory over Louisville on Dec. 3 in Charlotte.
Despite not losing in 13 games, FSU was snubbed from the College Football Playoff field for one-loss teams in Alabama and Texas.
Both the Crimson Tide and Longhorns lost their semifinal matchup, with No. 1 Michigan and No. 2 Washington set to square off in the National Championship Game Monday.
As we wrap up the 2023 season, here's a look back at the final statistics, along with Pro Football Focus grades, for the Seminoles' offensive players.
Quarterbacks
Player | Passing | % | Yards | TDs | INT | YPA | Rush | PFF | BTT | TWP |
Travis | 207-325 | 63.7% | 2,755 | 20 | 2 | 8.5 | 46/279/7 | 86.7 | 18 | 8 |
Rodemaker | 32-56 | 57.1% | 510 | 5 | 0 | 9.1 | 11/-4/0 | 71.3 | 2 | 2 |
Glenn | 19-51 | 37.3% | 229 | 0 | 2 | 4.5 | 9/49/1 | 53.2 | 4 | 4 |
Jordan Travis was the catalyst for the Seminoles offense and was a Heisman Trophy contender his season ended on Nov. 18 following a devastating injury against North Alabama. Despite missing the last 2.5 games of the season, Travis finished fifth in the Heisman Trophy voting.
Following his injury, Tate Rodemaker took over and led FSU to a comeback victory over the Lions and then a road victory over rival Florida in Gainesville. He, however, went down with a concussion against the Gators and freshman Brock Glenn was thrown into action, clearly before he was ready.
Glenn is expected to serve as the backup to Oregon State transfer DJ Uiagalelei in 2024, with incoming freshman Luke Kromenhoek working behind him.
Running backs
Player | Att. | Yards | YPC | TDs | Rec. | PFF | MTF | Elusive |
Benson | 156 | 905 | 5.8 | 14 | 20-227-1 | 83.9 | 44 | 104.4 |
Toafili | 69 | 460 | 6.7 | 4 | 20-172-1 | 65.7 | 15 | 101.6 |
R. Hill | 50 | 190 | 3.8 | 1 | 6-96-0 | 68.7 | 12 | 67.5 |
Holmes | 29 | 185 | 6.4 | 2 | 5-58-2 | 74.0 | 3 | 35.3 |
Singleton | 8 | 56 | 7.0 | 0 | n/a | 70.5 | 1 | 48.4 |
Campbell | 7 | 117 | 16.7 | 1 | n/a | 82.5 | 5 | 1,040.8 |
Following the departure of Treshuan Ward, Trey Benson was the primary back for the Seminoles and eclipsed 900 yards for the second straight season. He was a workhorse in the red zone and improved his receiving skills.
Lawrance Toafili, who is returning in 2024, served as the change of pace and the receiving back. He led the team in yards per carry and could serve as the lead back next season. Caziah Holmes is likely next up but incoming freshman Kam Davis has the potential to carve out a role as well.

Keon Coleman was a stud for FSU in his lone season in Tallahassee following his transfer from Michigan State. Coleman, as expected, boosted his NFL Draft stock and declared for the draft with his work. His monster game in the opener against LSU set the stage for his season.
While Johnny Wilson continued to be plagued by drops and inconsistency, when push came to shove on third downs, he was the go-to-receiver for Travis. He, too, declared for the draft and could be a Day 2 selection, or even work into Round 1.
Another transfer, tight end Jaheim Bell was as explosive as advertised, causing a team-high 12 missed tackles. He was also an asset in the run game and in blocking when required.
FSU has a ton of talent on paper when it comes to returners for next season, especially in freshmen Hykeem Williams and Destyn Hill. But the team could still be in the market for a veteran receiver, as the rest of the lot was inconsistent.
Offensive linemen
Player | Snaps | Run Block Grade | Pass Block Grade | Sacks allowed | QB hurries allowed |
Byers | 809 | 65.0 | 68.1 | 1 | 25 |
Smith | 730 | 72.7 | 69.6 | 2 | 13 |
Roddick | 699 | 60.9 | 69.2 | 0 | 8 |
Emmanuel | 615 | 61.8 | 86.6 | 2 | 3 |
Washington | 519 | 69.0 | 85.5 | 1 | 8 |
Jones | 451 | 61.9 | 75.8 | 1 | 3 |
Harris | 390 | 63.2 | 84.0 | 0 | 7 |
Scott | 191 | 67.7 | 78.8 | 1 | 3 |
The analytics confirm the eye test, FSU was better at blocking in the passing game versus the running game. That explains why they struggled to establish the run in some of their games.
Only starting guards Casey Roddick and D'Mitri Emmanuel will not return from the offensive line unit, which ran eight-deep for much of the season. With everyone else set to return, FSU will have strong continuity on the OL.
The group was also the least impacted by opt-outs for the Orange Bowl. But there could be open competition for snaps at guard next season.
Darius Washington has shown he can play just about anywhere on the line and Auburn transfer Keiondre Jones was strong in pass blocking when called upon. Both could see bigger roles next season.
