It’s Sunday, Florida State fans. As you’re enjoying what’s left of your weekend, we’ll keep you up on the latest in FSU athletics. The news and notes section of this post will be updated throughout the day.
Lead Story
At 6-5 and nearly 260 pounds, Florida State redshirt junior tight end Mavin Saunders is a large figure on the football field, but it appears the native of the Bahamas is making a big impact off of it as well.
According to a release, Saunders was named the Outstanding Adult Volunteer of the Year at Riley Elementary School. For the last 18 months, Saunders has been no stranger to the school, spending two hours mentoring students twice a week, per the release.
Throughout his time in Tallahassee, Saunders has proven to be more than just a football player. During his career with the Seminoles, he’s also been honored by the ACC for academics.
