FSU Senior Moments: Best of the Rest

The send-off wasn’t what most of Florida State’s seniors had hoped for, but nevertheless, the accomplishments as a program that this year’s senior class helped with are many. With the regular season in the books and only the Independence Bowl to be played, we’ll be looking back on the careers of some prominent FSU seniors.

The outgoing senior class for the Seminoles was part of the first College Football Semifinal ever and helped FSU finish in the top 10 twice and play in three New Year’s Six bowls. Some departing seniors contributed each season while others had small parts in the grand scheme of things.

The list concludes with a group of seniors, who made limited contributions, but were worth honoring nonetheless. To conclude our series, here’s a look back on some other notable prominent seniors who deserve mention:

Stephen Gabbard, LS
A 4-year starter as the team’s long snapper, FSU legacy Stephen Gabbard never had a bad snap that one could point to. Gabbard has four career tackles.

Jared Jackson, WR
A walk-on wide receiver, Jared Jackson never did much in the pass-catching department for Florida State, but was a standout in that area during his last two springs. Jackson instead has been known for his special teams work as he owns 19 career tackles. Jackson has two career catches for 13 yards. Jackson also served as the holder for kicker Ricky Aguayo this past season.

Malique Jackson, WR
It’s possible that Malique Jackson could be back next season after not appearing in a game in 2017. Jackson made the move from cornerback to wide receiver prior to the season. For his career, Jackson has three tackles.
