It all starts in the trenches for the Seminoles and that's apparent by the players who will represent FSU at the ACC Kickoff.
Florida State will be represented at next week's ACC Kickoff event by returning all-conference players Joshua Farmer, Patrick Payton and Darius Washington, along with head coach Mike Norvell, it was announced Monday.
Farmer started 13 games last season at defensive tackle and recorded 32 tackles, including 7.0 for loss with 5.0 sacks, two quarterback hurries, two pass breakups and one forced fumble. He was a second-team All-ACC performer and also was recognized on the All-ACC Academic Team and the ACC Honor Roll. The Port St. Joe native had one of the best performances in his career during FSU's exciting win at Clemson, registering a career-high five tackles, including a career-best 1.
Washington enters the 2024 season as an anchor on FSU's offensive line after appearing in 13 games with 10 starts, eight at left tackle and two at center, last season. He was a first-team All-ACC performer and earned All-America acclaim from multiple outlets. Washington helped block for an FSU offense that led the ACC in scoring, total touchdowns, rushing touchdowns, yards per completion, fewest interceptions thrown and fewest turnovers.
Norvell earned the Dodd Trophy and Bryant Award in 2023, becoming the eighth coach and second since 2003 to win both national Coach of the Year recognitions in the same season. He also was named ACC Coach of the Year, joining the legendary Bobby Bowden as the only FSU coaches to earn the conference's top coaching honor, and the AFCA Regional 1 Coach of the Year.
Florida State is scheduled to appear Monday, July 22, on the first day of the preseason media event. The Seminoles return nine all-conference players and the ACC Championship Game MVP after earning the program's 16th ACC title with a perfect 13-0 regular season in 2023. FSU opens its 2024 season August 24 in Dublin, Ireland, against Georgia Tech in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic. The game is set for a noon Eastern Time kickoff and will be broadcast on ESPN.
