AFTERMATH: Florida State Faces Locker Room TURMOIL as Ashlynd Barker’s Rant IMPACTS Team Future
Locked On Seminoles - Daily Podcast On Florida State Seminoles Football & BasketballMentioned in this episode
Episode Notes
The Florida State Seminoles spiral into offseason drama as Ashlynd Barker’s candid live stream slams the program and triggers a public retraction. Is the culture in Tallahassee at risk? Brian Smith dissects the locker room fallout, questions Barker’s NFL draft prospects, and explores how the administration and coaching staff should handle this explosive situation.
On the brighter side, the Seminoles land versatile defensive back Ma’khi Jones from the Transfer Portal and Duke, promising a much-needed boost to the secondary. Smith highlights Jones’s flexibility across multiple positions, impressive freshman stats, and evolving role under Tony White’s defensive scheme. Florida State’s escalating staff salaries—including John Garrett’s major new contract—raise pressing questions about leadership and roster building as portal chaos nears its end. Will these moves keep the ‘Noles competitive, or spark deeper issues?
