ACC Spring Wrap: League champ Florida State and ACC deal with quarterback changes
Florida State coach Mike Norvell, like most every other coach in the Atlantic Coast Conference and across the sport, has spent the spring handling change.
He hopes it can lead to another league title and a spot in the 12-team College Football Playoff.
The biggest new addition for the Seminoles is at quarterback, where one-time Clemson starter D.J. Uiagalelei takes over for Jordan Travis, who helped Florida State to its first ACC championship in nine years before a late, season-ending injury.
Uiagalelei, a backup behind Trevor Lawrence when the Tigers last went to the national playoffs in 2020, looks to keep the Seminoles near the top.
“All in all, it’s just been a really good spring that we’ve been able to put together,” Norvell said following the team’s spring game this past weekend.
Uiagalelei, who twice defeated Florida State as a Clemson starter, spent last season at Oregon State. Uiagalelei said he joined the Seminoles because expectations are high after last season’s success.
