It’s Thursday, Florida State fans. As the holiday weekend approaches, keep it here for the latest in FSU athletics. The news and notes section will be updated throughout the day.
Lead Story
Athlon Sports released its preseason All-ACC team on Wednesday and Florida State was more represented than any other school in the conference with 12 players.
Earning first-team honors from the publication were cornerback Tarvarus McFadden and Derwin James. The second-team members for Florida State were numerous as the list included quarterback Deondre Francois, running backs Cam Akers and Jacques Patrick, receiver Nyqwan Murray, defensive end Josh Sweat and defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi.
Most publications only list two or three teams, but Athlon typically lists four. Guard Landon Dickerson, defensive end Brian Burns and linebacker Matthew Thomas all made the third team. Guard Cole Minshew garnered fourth-team honors.
