When Darius Washington and Maurice Smith were recruits, they talked about coming to FSU and turning the offensive line and program around.

Along with Robert Scott, that's just what these vets have done, flipping the FSU OL narrative from national laughingstock to major asset and playing big roles in returning the Seminoles to their former glory.

FSU sports information:

Florida State senior midfielder Taylor Huff was named the ACC Offensive Player of the Week on Tuesday afternoon, her second straight season beginning with the ACC Offensive Player of the Week honor.

Huff had a dream start to her 2024 campaign, recording three assists in the opening match at South Florida before having her best-ever performance statistically versus North Florida. She scored three goals with an assist in 75 minutes to record her first-ever hat trick in the 10-0 victory over the Ospreys.

Huff’s seven points against North Florida were one point shy of FSU’s single-game record, and the 10 goals was the team’s first double-digit scoring performance since 2007.

The senior received several preseason accolades, including being named to the Preseason All-ACC Team, TopDrawerSoccer Preseason Best XI First Team, and MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List.

The Seminoles will continue their homestand with a Thursday evening match with Rice at 7 p.m. on the ACC Network.

Tough for them, I feel badly for the kid. Apparently, Brent Key announced today (Tuesday) Brett Seither will miss the season with a knee injury. Looks like he is a R-Sr averaging 14.4 ypc and is a big target at 6-5" 240lbs.

With limits on ships moving from 85 to 105. Curious about what decisions may be weighed with scolly's/NIL. Do you really need 105? Is it better to cap it at say 95, and divert the $ from the potential other 10 scolly's to upgrade the 95 you have thru NIL?

A common denominator for Haynes King's career: The quarterback's connection to an FSU legend (Chris Weinke), a former FSU coach (Jimbo Fisher) and the current FSU coach (Mike Norvell). All of them have been intrigued by King.

Norvell was Memphis’ coach when he saw King’s skill set early at Longview (Texas) High, where he developed into a three-star quarterback and had 30 touchdowns (20 passing, 10 rushing) in his senior season in 2019.

“We did a satellite camp in East Texas, maybe going into his junior year,” Norvell said. “We offered him that night. I’ve known his dad since I got into coaching. John King is one of the great coaches in the state of Texas. So much respect for him. And a lot of respect for the young man.

"You see his growth throughout his career. I think he’ll be one of the best quarterbacks in the country.”
