Samuel Jr. was the leading vote-getter among all defensive players:

Jarvis Brownlee Jr, who didn’t make any All-ACC teams, is using it as a goal for next year:
Woke up to see I ain’t make All- ACC I ain’t mad I’m just going 10X times harder ✌

It’s once again the time of year where Clemson’s Brent Venables’ name is on the shortlist for big-name coaching jobs just for the long-time defensive coordinator to inform the Tigers he’ll be returning:
Sources: Cross Clemson DC Brent Venables off the list at Auburn. He's told Clemson officials that he's staying.

Basketball:
Leonard Hamilton earned a well-deserved nomination to the Naismith Memorial basketball Hall of Fame.
Our own Mr. Rogner took a look inside the box score and what contributed to an off night for FSU Hoops.
As the Seminoles get a welcomed break before their bout with Clemson, Leonard Hamilton, Balsa Koprivica, and Anthony Polite reflected on the team’s performance in their win over Gardner-Webb.
Another positive update on UF basketball’s Keyontae Johnson as he has been released from the hospital in time to spend Christmas with his family:

Recruiting:
An unprecedented year, extra eligibility, and an unprecedented amount of players in the transfer portal could leave hundreds of players with nowhere to go:
The count of players who entered the NCAA transfer portal today is 40. For the year, there are more than 850. As it continues to fill, I hope players, parents and coaches realize the roster squeeze that's already arrived thanks to the 25-person "hard cap." https://t.co/zBR4DPc2Rm

With the season over, FSU has switched its focus to fining the recruiting class strong and you can keep up with all things Tribe 21 in our recruiting thread.
Alumni:
The future continues to look bright for the ever-positive Jon Isaac, who recently signed a 4-year $80 million dollar extension with the Magic:

After finally breaking out over the past few games, former FSU running back Cam Akers has unfortunately been sidelined with a high ankle sprain. The tricky injury is expected to keep him out at least through next week. Here’s hoping the rookie running back can return to form for his team by the playoffs:
Rams RB Cam Akers has a high ankle sprain, Sean McVay says, which will cause him to miss this next game, at least.

Graham Gano has been one of the best kickers in the NFL this season:
There is only one NFL kicker who has missed fewer than 3 kicks (FG +XP) this season*.

That kicker is @Giants stud Graham Gano.
