DJ Uiagalelei brings big-arm upside, but FSU needs cleaner consistency at QB
Uiagalelei’s calling card is still his **size, arm talent, and downfield playmaking**, and his 2023 Oregon State season showed he can be efficient when protected, finishing with 2,638 passing yards, 21 TDs, and 7 INTs; in 2024 at Florida State, however, his production dipped to 1,065 passing yards, 4 TDs, and 6 INTs, which makes him a higher-variance fit than a steady floor-raiser. He’s a useful fit for teams that want a **strong-armed pocket passer** who can add short-yardage rushing value, but he works best when the offensive structure simplifies reads and supports rhythm.
