Sports Illustrated had an interesting take on college football’s “sweet sixteen” teams that have participated in the College Football Playoffs since 2014.
Willie Taggart participated in the first press conference of the spring, and spoke all things Pro Day and Spring Practice.
Spring practice is about to begin, and the ’Noles tight ends group looks to gain some experience before the fall.
Florida State’s receivers group has a lot of upside with great possibilities.
After losing serious talent at the linebacker position, the Seminoles new talent looks to make an impact.
The last episode of The Chase mic’d up series is here, and running backs coach Donte’ Pimpleton did not disappoint.
The Final Episode.

FSU men’s golf faced some tough conditions at the Valspar Collegiate tournament, but persevered to finish in second and freshman John Pak impressed.
“John Pak is putting together a great freshman season,” FSU head coach Trey Jones said. “He keeps learning and getting better. The final round 66 in a 20-plus miles per hour wind is one of the best rounds I have coached.”
