Recruiting
There was a ridiculous amount of action yesterday — if you missed any of our signee pieces or scouting reports, head to our recruiting tracker (and bookmark it, if you want to keep an eye on things.)

Mike Norvell spoke on the class after the hooplah, saying, “We want the biggest strongest fastest football players we can get but we want the right mentality…To be willing to work to become great. Obviously, the relationships are important. That is where we hit a home run with this class. We have a great group of young men that we are bringing into this program.”
Welcome to the Nole Fam #Tribe21 - fired up to get you all on campus, the CLIMB begins now! #WORK

Florida State used the Backyard Baseball and Football video game series’ as inspiration for this year’s graphics — they got shoutouts from across the sports world.
We broke down the graphic and who everybody is — including mystery guitar man — here.
Just a small portion of the great work the creative team has put out this year. @KylePulek is a great leader and teaches us all great lessons daily. So happy to see where we are as a program right now creatively. #GoNoles pic.twitter.com/pGpEHYc4T7

Football
Was curious about which teams start games on the right foot (Sample sizes ignored so we can make Justin Fields look good). FSU starts out really well running the ball, which you would expect from an overall efficient running game #FSUTwitter #CollegeFootball #CFBPlayoff pic.twitter.com/vexHvFmWZO

Florida State University was recognized by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the Florida Recycling Partnership as a 2020 Recycling Award winner.
“Many universities and businesses talk sustainability and have recycling programs, but Florida State doesn’t just talk about it or claim to have programs,” said Dave Irvin, associate vice president for Facilities. “We’ve developed and implemented practical results-based actions that make a real difference. I’m excited that the 2020 Recycling Champion Award recognizes the hard-working team who makes it succeed each and every day.”
