Florida State sophomore TE Nick O'Leary is expected to return to the field against Wake Forest after a nagging thigh injury held him out of Saturday's game.
O'Leary was expected to take on a larger, pass catching, role this season, but he has yet to make a major impact. The sophomore did register two catches for 33 yards in the season opener against Murray State. Center Bryan Stork is also set to return from a neck injury. Mon, Sep 10, 2012 09:49:00 AM

Nick O'Leary - TE - Seminoles

Florida State senior QB EJ Manuel offered plenty of praise for TE Nick O'Leary and hinted at a larger role for the sophomore.

"In 7-on-7, we linked up thousands of times," Manuel said. "Every time he's been matched up against linebackers and safeties, he's giving them the business. The guy gets open every single time." O'Leary only started two games last season but recorded 164 yards on 12 catches, including one touchdown. There have been previous reports that the Seminoles will use more two tight end sets, with O'Leary in the move H-Back role to take advantage of open areas in the middle of the field.

Nick O'Leary - TE - Seminoles

Florida State sophomore TE Nick O'Leary estimates that the offense has practiced in two tight end sets 70 percent of the time, compared to only twenty percent last year.

This is good news for O'Leary, who spent more time at fullback than any other position. However, he admitted coming out of the backfield allows him to get in his routes easier, with less contact. After many called him the top tight end recruit in the country, O'Leary only caught 12 passes last season but should improve on that number this year.
