The Seminoles registered 1,400 volunteer hours in 2016-17, doubling the total number of hours from the previous year. Players volunteered with Habitat for Humanity, spoke at schools all over the Tallahassee community, mentored youth in Leon County, worked with FSU Recycles and volunteered at numerous youth camps. 2017 SEMINOLE FOOTBALL PAGE 4 The Musial Awards recognized Travis Rudolph’s inspiring friendship with Bo Paske, a Tallahassee middle schooler with autism that he befriended during a visit to Montford Middle School in August of 2016. Rudolph saw Paske eating by himself, was photographed and the image soon went viral, thanks to Bo’s mother, Leah. When the outpouring of support for the duo went national, Rudolph presented Bo and Leah with a personalized jersey and tickets to the season opener against Ole Miss in Orlando. Since then, the Paske’s have become two of Rudolph’s biggest fans and are frequently seen at team practices and games. Both Leah and Bo were on hand when Travis was picked up by the New York Giants as an undrafted free agent. He was one of 11 award winners for Extraordinary Sportsmanship. The Musial Awards presented by Maryville University and produced by the St. Louis Sports Commission and National Sportsmanship Foundation in honor of longtime Cardinals baseball player Stan Musial. The Allstate AFCA Good Works Team is one of the most coveted off-the-field honors in college football, recognizing the finest players in terms of character and leadership in addition to maintaining a good academic standing. Eberle is head of Florida State’s Uplifting Athletes chapter, which raises money for rare diseases including Fanconi anemia, a rare blood disease that affects head football Coach Jimbo Fisher’s son, Ethan. Eberle organizes events such as Life for Life and Touchdown Drive in order to raise money for the cause. 2017 SEMINOLE FOOTBALL PAGE 5 When the Seminoles opened up the 2016 season, fans were greeted with the tallest video board structure in college football, broadcasting in 1080p true high-definition.

The streak began with FSU’s 21-15 win over Georgia Tech in the ACC Championship Game on Dec. 1, 2012, and ended with the Noles’ loss to Oregon at the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, 2015. The 29-game win streak shattered the ACC and FSU records and was the second-longest NCAA recognized streak this century and the second-longest streak over the last 21 years.

Thirty-five players that played during the winning streak were drafted into the NFL, including Dalvin Cook, DeMarcus Walker, Rod Johnson and Marquez White in 2017. Florida State scored 96 more touchdowns than its opponents during the streak, totaling 155 TDs, while allowing only 59. 2017 SEMINOLE FOOTBALL PAGE 12 COLLEGE FOOTBALL’S BIGGEST AND BEST PRO DAY Florida State routinely hosts the most-attended and most-covered Pro Day in the country.

  • Seminoles in the Nfl Draft
    137 PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME All-time Florida State gridiron greats Walter Jones and Derrick Brooks are used to making history. The longtime NFL stars added an achievement that will without a doubt move to the top of their accolade-filled biographies when they were inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame inAugust, 2014. Jones and Brooks became the first pair of first-ballot Hall of Famers from the same class who attended the same college in over 40 years. The pair’s journey together started 20 years ago. Just as Brooks was wrapping up his All-America career at Florida State in 1994, Jones was joining the Seminoles out of Holmes Community College (Miss.) for the 1995 season. DERRICK BROOKS Linebacker 1991-94 2014 Pro Football Hall of Fame WALTER JONES Offensive Tackle 1995-96 2014 Pro Football Hall of Fame 138 PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME They never played on the same team at Florida State, but Jones distinctly remembers how excited he was to follow in the footsteps of the star linebacker whom he called the face of the Seminoles’ program. Jones and Brooks were the best at what they did for over a decade in the NFL. Brooks went to 11 Pro Bowls and never missed a game in 14 seasons (all with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers), while Jones became the NFL’s premier left tackle, going to nine Pro Bowls over 12 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. Both retired in 2008, and, six years later, Jones and Brooks were teammates for the first time as first-ballot Hall of Famers.
