Football:
Florida State football players Tamorrion Terry and Marvin Wilson continue to rake in the preseason honors, being added to the preseason All-ACC team and multiple award watchlists.

The war over which schools have produced the most talent at specific positions will be waged on the battlefields of the internet until the end of time. Depending on which criteria is being used, many schools can stake claims do being WRU, QBU, or DBU. (The correct answer for DBU is Florida State.) ESPN came up with their own criteria and time period to produce their list for every position.
As contentious as the article might be, Florida State is mentioned several times. Funnily enough, just like in real life, kickers were somewhat of an after thought. The good news is, ESPN has FSU as the undisputed Kicker U:

Now that we know the 2020 draft date (June 8) we also know the draft-eligible sophomores date (have to be born by July 25, 1999). That means FSU SS Nander De Sedas joins a very, very deep group of draft-eligible sophomores.https://t.co/NeJOlJ5lQq

With two weeks left in the regular season of the PGA Tour, our Michael Rogner took a look at how former FSU golfers fared this year.
While he played just one season at Florida State, Walter Jones will go down as one of the greatest offensive linemen to ever do it. The big man comes in at no. 39 in our top 100 countdown.
