Former FSU OL gets second shot with NFL team

While at Florida State, Jeremiah Byers played in 23 games for the Florida State football program in 2023 and '24.

As NoleGameday's Dustin Lewis reported in December, Byers started in eight of his nine appearances in 2024, missing three games due to injury. He started at right tackle during all 14 of his appearances in 2023 and was a member of the ACC Championship team.

In total, Byers played in 56 games, with 52 starts, during his time with the Seminoles and Miners. He was on the field for over 3,000 snaps and has a wealth of experience.

The Florida State Seminoles will look to rely on more transfers to hold up the running game and keep a clean pocket for quarterback Thomas Castellanos as they open the season with the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET in Tallahassee.
