  04/30/21 - McKenzie Milton, rSr/2022, Florida State, 5-11, 194 (DS#29 QB) + More +

  The Republican-controlled Florida Legislature delayed for a year a law that gives college athletes the right to market their names and likenesses. It was slipped into a bill that also included a controversial transgender athlete ban that won approval Wednesday night. The surprise decision gave the NCAA a victory at the same time the Legislature passed the transgender ban it opposed. "Are we serious right now??" former UCF and current Florida State quarterback McKenzie Milton wrote on Twitter, highlighting the section of the bill that crossed off "2021? and replaced it with "2022." "That little black line in a bill with more than 70 pages to continue to screw all these athletes?? Make it make sense. #NotNCAAProperty"

The bill giving college athletes control over their "name, image, and likeness," or NIL, passed last year after getting support from Gov. Ron DeSantis. Its original effective date of July 1, 2021, was among the earliest in the country. California's law, which kicked off the trend of allowing college athletes to market themselves for the first time, doesn't take effect until 2023. Twelve other states have passed such laws, and nearly 40 have introduced similar bills. - Orlando Sentinel

  04/14/21 - McKenzie Milton, rSr/2022, Florida State, 5-11, 194 (DS#29 QB) + More +

  Former UCF star quarterback McKenzie Milton made his debut for Florida State during the Seminoles' spring football game Saturday evening at Doak Campbell Stadium. On the third drive of the game, Milton converted a pair of third downs with passes to Jashaun Corbin and Malik McClain. After the 27-yard completion to McClain, a freshman who stood out with a few big plays Saturday, Milton threw a touchdown pass to redshirt freshman Bryan Robinson. FSU's quarterbacks split time throughout the game, with Milton and redshirt sophomore Jordan Travis leading the way.

Milton completed 6 of 11 passes for 96 yards and a touchdown. Travis opened the game under center with a long drive that ended with a 44-yard touchdown pass to McClain. He finished 8-of-14 for 115 yards and a touchdown. FSU coach Mike Norvell said he's seen continued growth from Milton, who hasn't played in two seasons after suffering a horrific right knee injury toward the end of UCF's 2018 season. "He's a very seasoned player," Norvell said after the game. "You see the same thing with Jordan...There's still things all those guys have to clean up, but they embrace it and whenever they make a mistake, they receive the information and then they work to apply it so they don't make the same mistake twice. Those are the things you like to see in competitors. - Orlando Sentinel

  04/07/21 - DJ Uiagalelei, rSr/2025, Florida State, 6-4, 229 (DS#32 QB) + More +

  Clearly, Clemson already has an upgraded Uiagalelei (ooh-ee-AHN-guh-luh-lay), better than the guy who finished last season as Lawrence's understudy (5 touchdown passes, no interceptions, 914 yards passing in 10 games and two starts). Tyler Venables, a Clemson sophomore safety and son of defensive coordinator Brent Venables, said Uiagalelei is quicker with passing reads since December. Also calmer in the pocket. "He basically came in here perfect, throwing-wise," Venables said. "Just unreal power on the ball and how far the can throw it, he's always had that. The mental side, he's always had. But he's continued to grow and be really able to read a defense." Uiagalelei will benefit from a Clemson defense that projects as one of the nation's best for 2021, the program's best overall tight end talent and a stronger, healthier receiver group led by the return of potential NFL first-round pick Justyn Ross. - Charleston Post Courier

  In a season filled with its fair share of ups and downs, Florida State running back Lawrance Toafili emerged as a bright spot for the Seminoles in 2020. The true freshman became a legitimate threat with the ability to confound defenses as a rusher and a passing threat. "Lawrance is a really talented player," FSU coach Mike Norvell said. "Not only with what he does running the ball, but the ability to catch the ball no matter where he's aligned, whether it's releasing from the backfield or lining up in the slot. He's a matchup problem for defenses because of that versatility." The Seminoles used Toafili's athleticism in a variety of ways, lining him up at the wideout and slot positions and in the return game. But it was at tailback where Toafili saw most of his work, rushing for 356 yards and two touchdowns, including a career-high 117 yards against Duke in the regular-season finale. Five of his 37 runs went for 20-plus yards, including a career-long 49-yard run against Louisville Oct. 24. He was the second-leading receiver among the running backs with 12 catches for 120 yards. - Sun-Sentinel

  Florida State quarterback McKenzie Milton has put his surgically repaired knee through the paces so far through offseason workouts and three practices this spring. "I feel really good out there," Milton said Friday following the Seminoles' first practice in full pads. "I don't feel like there are any hiccups or anything like that running around. I feel comfortable out on the field and seeing the field. "I'm still trying to get to the point that the offense is second-nature. I feel like the only way to get there is to continue to get into my playbook and continue to get those reps. Not just live reps, but mental reps when guys are taking reps. I feel very confident out there." Milton transferred to FSU in December after five seasons at UCF, but the senior hasn't played competitively since suffering a gruesome injury during the regular-season finale against USF Nov. 23, 2018. After multiple surgeries and two years of rehabilitation, Milton hopes to once again take the field, this time as a Seminole. - Orlando Sentinel

  Florida State coach Mike Norvell said former UCF quarterback McKenzie Milton has been "fully cleared" to participate when the Seminoles open spring football camp Tuesday. Milton, who transferred to FSU in December after five seasons with the Knights, spent nearly two years recovering from a horrific knee injury he suffered during the Knights' 2018 regular-season finale against USF at Raymond James Stadium. "He's been fully cleared," Norvell said Friday. "He looks great and I'm excited for what he's going to be able to do and get him back acclimated to the true speed of the game." Milton went through multiple surgeries for his knee and one doctor told him 50% of people who suffer the same injury usually have the leg amputated because the artery is too damaged or severed and it's too late to get the blood flow back to the leg. - Orlando Sentinel

  Former Florida State defensive tackle Marvin Wilson headlines a group of six Seminoles invited to participate in this year's virtual NFL scouting combine. Wilson, along with defensive ends Josh Kaindoh and Janarius Robinson, safety Hamsah Nasirildeen, cornerback Asante Samuel Jr., and receiver Tamorrion Terry, were among 323 college players selected for the event by the NFL. The league announced there would be no in-person workouts at the combine due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Those will take place during the pro days at individual schools. FSU is hosting its pro day March 22. - Orlando Sentinel

  03/04/21 - DJ Uiagalelei, rSr/2025, Florida State, 6-4, 229 (DS#32 QB) + More +

  Last week, D.J. Uiagalelei's phone buzzed with a text from a friend who was in Santa Monica, Calif., and needed a restaurant recommendation. Uiagalelei hails from nearby Bellflower. "I told him there's a really good seafood place out there," Uiagalelei said. The friend, it should be noted, was Trevor Lawrence, the former Clemson star quarterback and Uiagalalei's predecessor. The tip represented a role reversal for the two: Lawrence spent last season dispensing advice to Uiagalelei. But now the Tigers are Uiagalelei's team and the sophomore is intent on taking Clemson back to the College Football Playoff, while using Lawrence as a blueprint.

That process started last week at the onset of spring practice. "The biggest thing I took was how he handled everything," Uiagalelei said. "How committed he is to being the best person on the field and off the field." Uiagalelei said he is pushing himself to be more of a vocal leader, though it is more in his nature to lead by example, as Lawrence did. Lawrence was always on time, Uiagalelei said, and always completed his schoolwork. That's the standard Uiagalelei is working toward. "I want to be the most accountable guy on the team," he said. - Charleston Post Courier

  McClellion is among nine FSU players who joined the program during the offseason. The 6-foot, 184-pound defensive back spent the past three seasons in Fayetteville, where he started 20 games for the Razorbacks. He decided to sit out the 2020 season due to COVID-19 concerns and the pandemic prompted him to transfer closer to home. "Being a Seminole has been in my family, in my bloodline," McClellion said. "We've always been Seminoles fans since Day 1 when I was a baby. I always wanted to play for Florida State, so when Coach [Mike] Norvell gave me the offer, I wanted to come here and play. "I feel like it's God's blessing because now my mom can finally see me play." - Orlando Sentinel

  Florida State fans can get their first look at several newcomers including former UCF quarterback McKenzie Milton when the Seminoles host their spring game on April 10. FSU is one of the first schools to announce a spring game. The campus closed last season due growing concerns about the coronavirus pandemic, cutting short coach Mike Norvell's first spring football camp after three practices. The virus also forced the cancellation of the annual Garnet and Gold Game. Norvell and his coaching staff hope to lead a full slate of spring workouts after completing a tumultuous 2020 season that saw FSU finish with a 3-6 record. Milton is among several high-profile additions to the roster after transferring to the school in December. - Orlando Sentinel

  New FSU quarterback McKenzie Milton has been cleared by his surgeon at the Mayo Clinic to play full-contact football immediately, his mother confirmed to the Orlando Sentinel. Milton recently led the UCF scout team while spending the past two years recovering from a catastrophic knee injury. Shortly after transferring to Florida State in December, he said he was looking forward to getting clearance from his surgical team at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota in early January. - Orlando Sentinel

  Former UCF quarterback McKenzie Milton said Friday he's not putting any pressure on himself to come in and be the man after transferring to Florida State. Milton, in his first media availability since transferring to the Tallahassee school, answered a multitude of questions and said he will ease into his new surroundings. He hopes to be ready and on the field when the Seminoles face Notre Dame on Sept. 5. "I don't necessarily feel pressure. The only pressure I feel right now is to learn this playbook and just know my job inside and out," said Milton, a redshirt senior. "I feel like when I get to that point, that alleviates all pressure just because I know exactly what I'm doing, what's expected of me. "I'm just learning everyone's names and knowing everybody in this building. That's the only pressure I feel right now. Playing-wise, I feel comfortable to go do what I want to do...When I do something like that [learn about everyone], the rest will take care of itself." - Orlando Sentinel

  Another member of South Carolina's defense will finish his college career elsewhere. Defensive end Keir Thomas announced Tuesday that he is leaving the program and will enter the transfer portal. Thomas penned a farewell post on Twitter, thanking various people including former USC coach Will Muschamp and his Gamecock teammates. He was one of Muschamp's first recruits when he committed on Christmas Day 2015, a few weeks after the coach was hired at USC. Thomas had 141 tackles and 8.5 sacks during his five-year Gamecock career. - Rock Hill Herald
