Here are the bios for this matchup:
No. 1 seed Peter Boulware vs. No. 4 seed Reinard Wilson
Peter Boulware holds the Florida State record for sacks in a season with 19 in 1996. He ranks second all time with 34 career sacks (Reinard Wilson has the record with 35.5), and he would have shattered the mark if he had stayed for his senior year. During that 1996 season, the lightning-fast Boulware was the ACC Defensive Player of the Year, a unanimous first-team All-American and the Football News National Defensive Player of the Year. The South Carolina native, who burst onto the scene with 10 sacks as a sophomore in 1995 (despite only starting two games), was one of the key cogs in a 1996 defense that allowed just 11.1 points per game in the regular season and finished with an astounding 67 sacks. Boulware was the No. 4 overall pick of the 1997 NFL Draft and went on to a stellar pro career.
Reinard Wilson finished his career at Florida State as the all-time sacks leader in school history with 35.5. He racked up 11 as a sophomore, nine as a junior and then 13.5 in 1996, as he and teammate Peter Boulware became the first-ever consensus All-America defensive ends from the same team. Wilson was the Seminoles' leading tackler as a senior in 1996, racking up 105 tackles, including 22 for loss, in the undefeated regular season. The Lake City native came to Florida State as a linebacker but became a force at defensive end, combining rare strength with speed and a never-ending motor. He was an All-ACC first-team member in both 1995 and 1996, and was the No. 14 overall pick by the Cincinnati Bengals in the first round of the NFL Draft.
