Florida State head coach Mike Norvell dropped a bombshell in his latest press conference, shedding light on his dynamic quarterback duo—redshirt freshman Brock Glenn and true freshman Luke Kromenhoek.
With DJ Uiagalelei out for the season due to injury, Glenn and Kromenhoek have stepped up, splitting QB duties in a high-stakes, unpredictable season.
But here’s the twist: the QB battle is far from settled. As of this week, Kromenhoek has been promoted to co-starter alongside Glenn, signaling that Norvell is ready to shake things up and see what his young guns can really do.
Norvell made it clear that every single snap is a golden opportunity for these two to prove themselves. The clock is ticking as FSU faces a critical offseason, and Norvell is all-in on evaluating his quarterbacks through every rep, every game, every challenge. He emphasized that the development of both players is a work in progress but that their hunger to improve is undeniable.
“Every rep they get is a chance to show where they are, to execute and to grow,” Norvell said. “They’ve both approached this with a relentless attitude, and I’m excited to see them continue to compete and get better. They’ve handled this tough season, and now we’re watching them evolve into more consistent performers.”
The numbers? Glenn has thrown for 566 yards with 4 touchdowns and 5 interceptions on just a 43.4% completion rate, while also rushing for 87 yards. Kromenhoek, meanwhile, has completed 44.4% of his passes for 153 yards, with 2 interceptions and 50 rushing yards to his name. The stats are a bit rough, but what stands out to Norvell is their grit, ownership, and determination.
“Both guys own their work. They’ve faced challenges, they’ve had ups and downs, but they’ve never backed down. They’re taking responsibility, working their butts off in meetings and on the field. We’re seeing progress, and that’s what we need moving forward.”
With the season winding down, Norvell is excited to see this QB showdown play out on the field, starting with the upcoming matchup against Charleston Southern. Both Glenn and Kromenhoek will see action, and how they perform could determine the future of FSU’s quarterback situation. Expect fireworks. This battle is just getting started, and the Seminoles’ future could rest in their hands.
