Just like in the spring, a large percentage of Florida State's roster has gained or lost weight. There are 21 players who have added five or more pounds, including five who have gained 10+ pounds. On the flip side, there are 17 players who have lost five or more pounds, including six who have lost 10+ pounds.

Let's take a look at a few of the players who made changes since the spring.

Gilber Edmond (+12), Jaden Jones (+14), and Aaron Hester (+14) all added 10+ pounds while Byron Turner Jr. broke into the 240s.

Defensive Darrell Jackson is now one of four players on the roster to weigh 330+ pounds. In the defensive backfield, cornerback Azareye'h Thomas and cornerback Fentrell Cypress II have both added weight in preparation to play large roles for the Seminoles.

Florida State has size and depth in the trenches that are trending in the right direction. The Seminoles have 13 scholarship players on the offensive or defensive line that check in at 310+ pounds. That includes two true freshmen (Chris Andre' Otto, Lucas Simmons).

Wide receiver Hykeem Williams wasn't in top shape during the spring but is looking to change that after losing nine pounds.

On the other side of the ball, defensive tackle Fabien Lovett is down to 318 pounds and will enter the season in excellent shape. Other key defenders such as safety Shyheim Brown, cornerback Jarrian Jones, and linebacker DJ Lundy have all shed some weight.
