FSU Quarterback Coach Tony Tokarz Departs for Promotion
14 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Tokarz leaves FSU after developing Jordan Travis into an elite QB.
- Two recent FSU quarterbacks regressed or stagnated under his watch.
- FSU has experienced quarterback recruiting flips in two recent classes.
Florida State's quarterbacks coach, Tony Tokarz, has departed the program to accept a promotion elsewhere. Tokarz spent four seasons on the FSU staff, with his final two years dedicated to coaching quarterbacks. During the 2022 season, his unit was instrumental in one of the nation's most explosive offenses, contributing to FSU's No. 10 national ranking.
Under Tokarz's guidance, Jordan Travis achieved elite status, earning second-team All-ACC honors and setting numerous program records. However, the development of other quarterbacks like DJ Uiagelelei and Tommy Castellanos reportedly stagnated, and FSU experienced quarterback recruiting attrition in the last two classes.
Tokarz's coaching tenure included significant offensive achievements, particularly during the 2022 season where FSU led the ACC in multiple offensive categories. His previous coaching experience spans six years with head coach Mike Norvell and includes roles at Memphis and various other collegiate programs.
