Practice is underway in Tallahassee and the 2014 season is just around the corner. After winning the BCS National Championship last season, Florida State will begin 2014 ranked first in the country. The Seminoles return a lot of talent and possess one of the most loaded rosters from top to bottom. While FSU is drenched in talent, it will face some very talented players also. Here’s a look at the players that make up Florida State’s All-Opponent team for this upcoming season:

Offense

Quarterback

Everett Golson, Notre Dame

Despite missing last season to suspension, Everett Golson is a dual-threat quarterback that has yet to lose a regular season start. In his only season as Notre Dame’s starting quarterback, Golson took the Fighting Irish to the BCS National Championship. Notre Dame will face Florida State on October 18th in Tallahassee.

Running Back

Duke Johnson, Miami

Prior to missing the end of last season with an ankle injury, Miami running back Duke Johnson was one of the nation’s more explosive players. Johnson is a danger on the ground, through the air and in the return game and had 97 yards rushing against the Seminoles last season prior to leaving with an injury. The Hurricanes and Seminoles will meet this season in South Florida on November 15th.

Running Back

Desmond Roland, Oklahoma State

A downhill runner, Desmond Roland scored 12 rushing touchdowns for Oklahoma State last season. Roland can be a workhorse and will be a vital part of the Oklahoma State offense when they meet Florida State in the season opener in Dallas on August 30th.

Wide Receiver

DeVante Parker, Louisville

At 6’3″, Louisville senior receiver DeVante Parker is a match-up nightmare and perhaps the best receiver Florida State will see all season. Parker scored 12 touchdowns a season ago while averaging better than 16 yards-per-catch. Parker and the Cardinals will host FSU on Thursday, October 30th.

Wide Receiver

DaVaris Daniels, Notre Dame

A speedster, DaVaris Daniels has averaged over 15 yards-per-catch in each of his two seasons in South Bend. Daniels broke the 100-yard mark twice last season and finished with seven touchdown grabs.

Tight End

Ben Koyack, Notre Dame

Ben Koyack is more of a blocking tight end than a stellar pass-catcher, but averaged over 17 yards-per-reception last season and scored three touchdowns. With the return of Golson and loss of T.J. Jones, Koyack is expected to be more of a weapon in the passing game.

Tackle

Sean Hickey, Syracuse

An experienced senior, Sean Hickey is one of the nation’s top offensive tackles. Hickey excels in pass protection and his play will be critical when the Seminoles visit the Carrier Dome on October 11th.

Guard

Chris Grisbhy, Oklahoma State

At 6’5″ and 325 pounds, senior Chris Grisbhy is an imposing force along the Oklahoma State front. Grisbhy helped anchor one of the better offenses in the Big XII last season and will look to do so again in 2014.

Center

Andy Gallik, Boston College

Senior center Andy Gallik is one of the few returning starters on offense for Boston College, but one of the best. Gallik was instrumental in helping Boston College become one of the nation’s premier rushing offenses last season. The Eagles went for over 200 yards on the ground against Florida State in 2013 and will need a similar effort to have any chance in Tallahassee when the teams meet on November 22nd.

Guard

Christian Lombard, Notre Dame

Senior Christian Lombard is an enforcer for Notre Dame in the run game and will need to be against a Florida State defense that yielded the fewest points-per-game in the nation last season.

Tackle

Trenton Brown, Florida

At 6’8″ and 350 pounds, Florida State may not see a bigger player than Florida offensive tackle Trenton Brown this season. Brown was inconsistent a season ago, but his size and power make him one of the NFL’s top prospects at the position. Florida will visit Florida State in the regular season finale on November 29th.

Defense

Defensive End

Vic Beasley, Clemson

After wrestling with the idea of heading to the NFL, Clemson defensive end Vic Beasley returns for his senior year. Beasley is the unquestioned leader of the Tiger defense and led the ACC with 13 sacks last season. Clemson will head to Tallahassee for the Seminoles’ ACC opener on September 20th.

Defensive Tackle

Grady Jarrett, Clemson

Clemson senior Grady Jarrett isn’t overly big for his position, but is a load on the inside. In 2013, Jarrett recorded two sacks and nearly 60 tackles from his defensive tackle position. Jarrett is one of the big reasons why the Tigers are expected to be much-improved on defense in 2014.

Defensive Tackle

Leon Orr, Florida

Florida senior defensive tackle Leon Orr is a load in the middle and helped keep Florida State out of the end zone for the better part of the first half last season. Orr is best noted for his ability to play the run, but can get after the passer as well.

Defensive End

Dante Fowler Jr., Florida

A former Florida State commit, Dante Fowler Jr. has blossomed into one of the nation’s premier defensive players. Though Fowler recorded just 3.5 sacks a season ago, he was routinely in opposing backfields.

Linebacker

Denzel Perryman, Miami

One of the nation’s premier linebackers, Denzel Perryman returns for his senior season. Perryman recorded over 100 tackles last season and must be accounted for at all times by opposing offenses.

Linebacker

Stephone Anthony, Clemson

Senior Stephone Anthony was nothing shy of a ball-hawk last season for Clemson. Anthony finished with 87 total tackles in 2013, 4.5 sacks and two interceptions including a critical one in the Tigers’ Orange Bowl victory over Ohio State.

Linebacker

Dyshawn Davis, Syracuse

Syracuse senior Dyshawn Davis is a bit undersized for an outside linebacker, but is one of the quicker players at the position in the ACC. Davis recorded seven tackles and a sack against Florida State last season in Tallahassee.

Cornerback

Tracy Howard, Miami

Junior Tracy Howard led Miami with four interceptions a season ago and is one of the ACC’s best on the outside. Howard will likely be matched up against Florida State’s Rashad Greene very often when the teams meet late in the season.

Cornerback

Vernon Hargreaves III, Florida

As a freshman, Vernon Hargreaves III emerged as Florida’s best cover corner and finished with three interceptions. Hargreaves will be tasked with slowing down Jameis Winston and a high-powered Florida State aerial attack when the teams meet in Tallahassee.

Safety

Anthony Harris, Virginia

While 2013 was a year to forget for Virginia, safety Anthony Harris served as one of the lone bright spots. Harris led the ACC with eight interceptions a season ago and served as an enforcer deep in the Cavaliers’ secondary. Harris will need a big game when Virginia comes to Tallahassee on November 8th.

Safety

Durell Eskridge, Syracuse

A South Florida product, Syracuse’s Durell Eskridge was one of the stars on what was a very good Orange defense last season. Eskridge is a complete safety with his ability to play the ball and to come up to help against the run.

Special Teams

Kicker

Niklas Sade, N.C. State

Though North Carolina State was unable to manage an ACC victory in 2013, kicker Niklas Sade was pretty close to money. Sade made all 31 of his PAT attempts and was 19-for-23 on field goal attempts which included a game-winner against Richmond in early September. Sade and the Wolfpack will host Florida State on September 27th.

Punter

Will Baumann, N.C. State

The leading returning punter in the ACC Atlantic, Will Baumann averaged better than 42 yards-per-punt last season. Baumann had a long of 66 yards last season and a long of at least 43 yards in every game.
