Florida State football, recruiting news: Should FSU be a pre-season Top 25 team?

Linebacker signee DJ Lundy won another state wrestling title; he’s an impressive athlete.

Football:

Bill Connelly’s pre-season SP+ rankings are out and FSU is at No. 26; is that too high, too low, or just right?

Other Sports:

Leonard Hamilton has been underrated for a long time; his record is elite and he’s a future Hall of Famer.

Congratulations on your first series win Mike Martin, Jr.
