Recruiting
Mike Norvell’s Florida State Seminoles already have landed one offensive lineman from the portal, and Tuesday morning, they started their pursuit for a talented tackle:
Lots of news in the most recent recruiting thread:
Football
How good is Jordan Travis as a college QB? He certainly ended the season strongly:
Jordan Travis over his last 6 games this season: 259 total yards per game, 63% completion%, 15 total TD-2 turnovers.

How about this pass from Travis to Ontaria Wilson? The catch is even more impressive, landing on SportsCenter’s top 10 plays:

Notre Dame Fighting Irish offensive line transfer Dillan Gibbons has been a great addition for Florida State, on and off the field:
.@FSUFootball's Dillan Gibbons befriended Timothy Donovan, who lives with VACTERL, after his first game at Notre Dame.
When Gibbons transferred to FSU, he used his NIL rights to help bring him to his first game.

Speaking of the transfer portal:
We’ve got an article discussing all the crazy coaching moves in college football, as well:
(thanks to Joe and Sean, respectively, for throwing those together for our readers)
Brett Nevitt had some great perspective on the job Norvell’s done thus far and what the future looks like in Tallahassee:
The Tomahawk Nation staff took some time to discuss various topics surrounding FSU football as the season came to a close:
Basketball
FSU was no match for the 2nd ranked Purdue Boilermakers Tuesday night as part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, especially missing two starters (point guard RayQuan Evans and center Tanor Ngom):
Very classy by Purdue:
Florida State's Rayquan Evans will miss tonight's game to attend the funeral of his brother, who died recently of lukemia.
A GoFund me page has been set up to help cover expenses.
Boilermakers help out when we can. If you can, help the cause here. https://t.co/qUSzbRAmBM
