As part of yesterday’s media availability, we spoke with head coach Mike Norvell, along with defensive end Josh Griffis, tight end Wyatt Rector and running back Deonte Sheffield, the final two having been awarded full scholarships by Norvell on Monday. Griffis spoke on adjusting to college (and getting his mullet), while Sheffield and Rector both spoke on the experience of achieving a dream that they’ve been working towards for years.
Norvell also broke the news that defensive back Isaiah Bolden is switching over to receiver (“That’s something that I’m really excited about. Had a really big play today. I think he has a chance to help impact this team”)— while also confirming that receiver DJ Matthews has yet to return to practice.

Didn't come against a great slate of tackles, but Brian Burns was impressive early last season before the wrist injury slowed him down. Top-10 pass-rushing grade at edge through the first 3 weeks.

Looking forward to watching him play some more without a cast this season. pic.twitter.com/P6GNNLkY0X
Baseball:
More accolades for some Florida State baseball players from their summer league performances (if you want to read some coverage, Brett Nevitt was there on-scene throughout the summer):
The 1-2 punch for the Squeeze was outstanding this summer, and @brycehubbart is a big reason why. Through 15 innings, the @FSUBaseball LHP produced a 0.60 ERA, striking out 31 and holding batters to a .122 BAA. His 18.6 K/9 was the best in the league for all qualified pitchers. pic.twitter.com/zZ3QSvai7d

The 2020 Cy Young Award Winner went 3-0 with a 0.49 ERA in 18.2 IP. Squeeze ace @messick_parker had 27 strikeouts, only walking 3, and only allowing 5 hits on the season. He had a stellar 0.44 WHIP and held hitters to an astounding .083 BAA. The @FSUBaseball LHP had 13.26 K/9. pic.twitter.com/EzIRglmkiI
