FSU AM: Legend Anniversary, Recruiting News, & Golf Update

Football legend sets precedent, recruiting updates, PGA news, & other FSU stories.

FOOTBALL 

Today in history, former Florida State star Ron Simmons accomplished something that had never been done in professional wrestling’s history. In 1992, Simmons became the first ever world heavyweight champion. I took a look at the accomplishment, and as a wrestling fan, it’s an amazing feat to reflect upon. Simmons defeated former Colorado Buffalo Leon White, aka Big Van Vader, to accomplish the feat en route to a career that would see him inducted into a wrestling hall of fame, after he was enshrined into the College Football Hall of Fame. 

The football team’s Twitter account shared some photos from the team’s recent practices in a black and white filter showing the team is “locked in.”

FOOTBALL RECRUITING 

Our David Visser took a look at FSU’s scholarship offers that are sent out to recruits, and how they compared to others’, as SI provided a look at all Power 5 Conference team’s offers.
