Florida State football, recruiting news: spring ball highlights

Football

Willie Taggart is attracting many people to the Florida State football program with his positivity, motivation and short and sweet mantras — WWE wrestler John Cena took note, maybe.

Spring practice is among us, and so is the “Nole Drill.” Seminoles.com writer Tim Linafelt wrote that it requires the ball-carrier to find their way through three levels of blockers: OL vs. DL, TE vs. LB and WR vs. DB.

He shared a video of Zaquandre White running through the drill yesterday during practice.

The Tallahassee Democrat’s Wayne McGahee III also shared 10 minutes of highlights from Wednesday’s practice which you can check out here.
