08/03/19 - James Blackman, rSr/2023, Arkansas State, 6-5, 189 (DS#36 QB) + More +

James Blackman is in the driver's seat in the quarterback competition at Florida State. As the Seminoles' opened preseason practice on Friday, Blackman is the unquestioned leader. He was taking the first-team reps and guiding the Seminoles with a smile and business-like approach of a starting QB. But Florida State's quarterback competition is a wide-open race, with no timetable to end.

"Hearing the word compete, it challenges me," Blackman said. And there are many challenges for Blackman to embrace. He was Florida State's starter in 2017, but Blackman acknowledges he's in an open competition with Wisconsin transfer Alex Hornibrook and others. Hornibrook completed 60 percent of his passes and led the Badgers to a 26-6 mark as their starter. - AP College Football/Washington Post
