Florida State QB Depth Chart: Will Brock Glenn Rise to the Challenge if DJ Uiagalelei Falters?
The Florida State Seminoles have had a rough start to their season. After kicking off the 2024 college football campaign ranked 10th in the AP Top 25, they’ve stumbled to an 0-2 record, suffering defeats against conference rivals Georgia Tech and Boston College. Senior quarterback DJ Uiagalelei, who transferred to FSU following a strong 2023 season at Oregon State, has been at the heart of the team’s struggles.
In the first two games, Uiagalelei has completed 40 of 69 passes for 465 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. His underwhelming performance has raised concerns about a potential turnaround this season and led fans to question who might step in if he’s sidelined.
Here’s everything you need to know about the QB depth chart at FSU.
Florida State QB Depth Chart: Who’s DJ Uiagalelei’s Backup?
Starter: DJ Uiagalelei, redshirt senior
Uiagalelei began his college journey at Clemson in 2020, becoming the starting quarterback for the Tigers in 2021. However, after falling out of favor at Clemson, he transferred to Oregon State for the 2023 season. There, he showcased his talent as a five-star recruit, passing for 2,638 yards, 21 touchdowns, and only seven interceptions.
Due to the challenges arising from the Pac-12’s dissolution, Uiagalelei sought a fresh start and chose Florida State to continue his career, aiming to fill the gap left by Jordan Travis.
Backup: Brock Glenn, redshirt freshman
Glenn is a 6’2″, 215-pound quarterback who was a four-star recruit in the 2023 high school class.
During his freshman year in 2023, he played in five games, primarily serving as Jordan Travis’ backup. In those appearances, he completed 19 of 51 passes for 229 yards, without any touchdowns and two interceptions.
As the end of the season approached, Glenn was thrust into action after Travis suffered a serious injury. He made two starts in the ACC Championship and the Orange Bowl. In the ACC Championship win against Louisville, he went 8 of 21 for 55 yards, and in the Orange Bowl loss to Georgia, he completed 9 of 26 passes for 136 yards.
Third: Luke Kromenhoek, freshman
Kromenhoek is a consensus four-star recruit from the 2024 high school class and hails from Savannah, Georgia. Standing at 6’4″ and weighing 208 pounds, he is regarded as a high-potential player with a strong arm but will require more experience to compete for a starting position.
Other QBs on FSU’s Roster
In addition to Uiagalelei, Glenn, and Kromenhoek, Florida State has three other quarterbacks on its roster for Week 3:
- Trever Jackson, freshman
- Michael Grant, redshirt freshman
- Dylan McNamara, redshirt sophomore
