Spring injuries continue to pile up for Florida State football as it will be without quarterbacks sophomore Brock Glenn and freshman Luke Kromenhoek for the rest of the spring season.
FSU head coach Mike Norvell said that while both players are expected to recover by the start of summer workouts, both will be unavailable for Saturday’s spring Showcase at Doak Campbell Stadium.
“They have been dealing with minor, little injuries that’s not going to affect anything for them, even in the summer,” Norvell said. “I thought we’d get Brock [Glenn] back this week, but it’s looking like he’ll get going into next week.”
“Unfortunately, that’s the timeline. Both those guys will be unavailable.”
After last Thursday’s practice, Norvell announced that Glenn was taking limited reps after a “non-football thing.”
Glenn and Kromenhoek are two more players added to FSU’s spring season injury list, which is now up to seven players that will be unavailable Saturday.
On March 26, Norvell announced redshirt junior defensive tackle Joshua Farmer, redshirt senior offensive tackle Robert Scott and freshman defensive back Jamari Howard will all be unavailable due to injury.
On April 5, Norvell announced wide receiver Destyn Hill and redshirt sophomore tight end Jerrale Powers would be out for the rest of the spring season.
DJ Uiagalelei is the only healthy scholarship quarterback expected to participate in the Spring Showcase, meaning that we will get a look at FSU’s three walk-on quarterbacks: freshman Trever Jackson, redshirt sophomore Dylan MacNamara and redshirt freshman Michael Grant of Maclay.
Out of the three, it has been the true freshman, Jackson, who has been taking the most snaps behind Uiagalelei.
The 6-foot-3-inch, 186-pound quarterback was a late addition to FSU’s Class of 2024, committing in mid-January.
Early on, while he has been hesitant to throw the ball, Jackson has had impressive running abilities and field navigation. Norvell said while Jackson still has a lot to learn he’s been very impressed with him early on.
“He’s [Jackson] still learning a lot and it’s a lot being thrown at him, but I thought he’s done some good things,” Norvell said. “Obviously, it’s a great opportunity for him to get some experience, work and get better.”
