Football:
247Sports took the time to rank the ACC’s quarterbacks, with James Blackman checking in at No. 9 behind the likes of D’Eriq King, Sam Howell, Ian Book and, for some reason, Trevor Lawrence.
Athletic director David Coburn addressed the Florida State athletic board yesterday, updating on important matters like the standalone football facility (he’s discussing a plan with Norvell after spring), season ticket sales (slightly up!) and new strength and conditioning changes (“absolutely making a difference.”)
Former Florida State running back Cam Akers has met with the Buffalo Bills, Atlanta Falcons and should be meeting with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers soon:
