Another one! Florida State lands Auburn OL transfer Keiondre Jones
Florida State continues to quickly address its needs out of the transfer portal, landing another veteran offensive lineman in Auburn transfer Keiondre Jones.
Jones, who entered the transfer portal earlier this month, started two games and played in nine others for the Tigers at right guard during the 2022 season. A junior, Jones has 24 career starts the past three seasons during his Auburn career.
Listed at 6-foot-4, 340 pounds, Jones is a former four-star prospect in the class of 2019. He announced his decision Tuesday on social media.

Jones becomes the third recent offensive line transfer to announce his commitment to Florida State. He joins UTEP offensive lineman Jeremiah Byers, a veteran starter who committed to FSU on Monday.
In his last full season as a starter in 2021, Jones posted a Pro Football Focus grade of 71.1, which is well above-average. His pass-blocking was 77.5, and his run-blocking grade was 68.7.
The Seminoles landed a pledge from Colorado lineman Casey Roddick on Sunday night just a day before Byers committed.
Florida State continues a torrid pace in the portal as offensive coordinator Alex Atkins and head coach Mike Norvell boast a strong reputation for successfully bringing in offensive linemen the past few years. Three FSU starters from this season will be graduating and all three are former transfers: guards Dillan Gibbons and D’Mitri Emmanuel and tackle Jazston Turnetine.
