Tight end Zeke Moore and wide receiver Reed Swanson are questionable, which could impact their offensive capabilities. On defense, Isaiah Farris and Justin Medlock's uncertain status could affect their depth.
Recent Form and Upcoming Challenges

Quarterback Insights
Ashton Daniels is leading the Seminoles from the quarterback position, having played 8 games so far this season. With 214 passing attempts, Daniels has accumulated 1968 passing yards, placing him among the top in his league. His performance includes 14 passing touchdowns, though he has also thrown 11 interceptions, indicating areas for improvement.
Kevin Sperry serves as a backup quarterback and has seen limited action with just 5 passing attempts in 3 games. While his contributions are minimal at this point, he remains a potential asset should the need arise for a change in strategy.
