FSU's Tony White says pair of DL were 'very disruptive' in scrimmage
FSU is counting on Rylan Kennedy and Jalen Anderson to pressure the quarterback, and Tony White thought they did well in the scrimmage.
Florida State football coach Tony White expressed optimism regarding the defensive line's performance during the team's first scrimmage of the offseason, praising two new additions to the group for their disruptive presence. White highlighted Rylan Kennedy, who transferred from Texas A&M, and Jalen Aderson, a top JUCO player from Pearl River, as "very disruptive" during the game-like situation.
Both players made significant contributions, with Kennedy recording 40 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, and four pass breakups in limited appearances, while Aderson showcased an impressive motor and a proven track record of success at the collegiate level. White emphasized that the duo effectively learned the pass-rushing concepts and addressed their biggest area of concern, asserting that they have made considerable strides in learning how to pressure the quarterback.
Kennedy and Aderson are expected to continue refining their skills as they prepare for the upcoming season, with White confident that they will be key components in the Seminoles' effort to fulfill their goals in 2026.
