Recruiting:
-Florida State picked up a commitment from three-star athlete Clifford Chattman. The athlete has the potential to play many positions with his 6'4 frame, and could wind up playing defensive back in the future.
-The 'Noles hosted six targets and three committed players this weekend, including four-star WR Keith Gavin, four-star Juco prospect Jonathan Kongbo (Kongbo ended up on USC's campus), four-star defensive tackles Raekwon Davis (Davis visited Alabama), Stephon Taylor and current four-star cornerback commit Kyle Meyers.

-Four-star defensive tackle Stephon Taylor moved Florida State up on his rankings following his official visit this weekend. Currently the 'Noles have four-star Cedric Wood and three-star Walvenski Aime as the other defensive tackles from this class, both who enrolled early.

-Four-star linebacker Dontavious Jackson will make an unofficial visit to the University of Texas instead of Florida State, reportedly the final two schools in his decision.
So UV to Texas, not FSU. Now we'll see if FSU has (or needs) a backup plan. https://t.co/zpqlDaieel

Alumni:
-Former Florida State Seminole kicker Graham Gano will participate in Super Bowl 50, continuing the trend of 'Noles playing for the Lombardi Trophy.
- LB Terrance Smith and DT Nile Lawrence-Stample both started in this weekend's East vs. West shrine game. Former QB Jameis Winston was there to cheer the pair on. Unfortunately, Smith's day ended early due to an injury. CBS Sports has Smith projected as a seventh round pick with NLS going between rounds 4-5.
- Jameis Winston was named as a finalist for the NFL Rookie of the Year award.
