McCray’s Madness Nets ACC Weekly Crown
Robert McCray V exploded for 27 points, six rebounds, and five assists against Boston College—then followed up with 29 points, six boards, and three assists in an upset of Clemson. His clutch free throws sealed the Tigers victory, earning him Florida State’s first ACC Player of the Week nod since 2024. Over a nine-game, 7–2 stretch, McCray is averaging 19.9 points, 4.7 assists, and 3.8 rebounds, proving he’s the engine driving FSU’s recent hot streak.
In a move that undoubtedly caused coaches across the ACC to mutter ominous threats under their breath, FSU’s resident court wizard, Robert McCray V, decided that “just winning games” was too pedestrian. Instead, he’s moonlighting as the Seminoles’ one-man demolition crew—tearing down double teams, bouncing back from turnovers like a caffeinated kangaroo, and burying opponents in free throws as if launching a pay-per-view special. One can only imagine the postgame film sessions: FSU staff playing “Where’s McCray?” as defensive coordinators weep softly into their X’s and O’s boards. If awards were handed out for inducing existential dread in rival fanbases, McCray would be collecting trophies by the trunkful.
Seminoles Seek Season Sweep Over Miami Hurricanes
Florida State aims to complete a season sweep of rival Miami after a dominant stretch that saw the Seminoles win six of seven and knock off the Hurricanes on the road earlier this year. FSU, now 14–13 overall and 7–7 in ACC play, relies on key contributors like ACC Player of the Week Robert McCray V and sturdy interior defense to stifle Miami’s inside-focused offense. The rematch in Tallahassee promises another tight contest between two closely matched squads.
Nothing says “rivalry renewed” like two teams who have forgotten how to shoot threes and instead reenact an old-school paint battle. Miami’s gang of 6-foot-anything bigs will try to muscling their way to glory, while FSU will respond by auditioning for their high school wrestling jackets, grabbing every rebound in sight. Meanwhile, head coaches on both sides will nervously refresh the score app as if it’s Tinder, hoping for a match. If the game gets any tighter, fans may start wagering on which mascot can solve a Rubik’s Cube fastest at halftime.
Seminoles Shuffle Staff with Two Fresh Faces
Florida State bolsters its offensive coaching unit by hiring Manrey Saint-Amour as assistant offensive line coach and Teddy Richardson III as assistant running backs coach. Saint-Amour, formerly at Georgia State and a past FSU graduate assistant, returns to Tallahassee to shore up the o-line. Richardson III, with Appalachian State pedigree and FIU roots, will assist new running backs coach Kam Martin. These additions follow a wave of departures and promotions across the Seminoles’ staff.
In the never-ending FSU staff carousel, new coaches arrive just in time to catch the last few swings of the merry-go-round. Saint-Amour and Richardson III will step onto the practice field fully aware they’re one misread blitz away from being celebrated in “Notable Departures of the Week.” Meanwhile, veteran coaches eye their phones anxiously, hoping no one follows the old “reply-all” email announcing retirements. It’s like speed dating—everyone’s scrambling to impress before the bell rings, and only the slickest playbook jokes survive.
Quarterback Conundrum: Who Leads FSU in ’26?
The biggest offseason question for Florida State is who will start under center in 2026. The departure of Tommy Castellanos and transfers of Brock Glenn and Jaylen King leave FSU with redshirt freshman Kevin Sperry and newcomers Ashton Daniels (Auburn), Dean DeNobile (Lafayette), and JUCO star Malachi Marshall vying for the job. Each brings unique talents and experience, setting up a high-stakes competition to run Mike Norvell’s offense.
If you thought FSU’s quarterback room sounded like a law school waiting list, you’re not wrong. Picture a reality show where half the contestants have never called a snap count before, and the other half arrive with MVP trophies but can’t figure out where Tallahassee is on a map. Mike Norvell will juggle playbooks like circus torches, hoping none of them drop and go up in flames. Fans should prepare for more hype videos than an Olympic opening ceremony—because nothing says “trusted leader” like a drone montage set to epic music.
Safety Foreman Sparks ACC School’s Interest
Five-star safety Jemari Foreman anchors FSU’s top-20 2027 recruiting class. With 70 tackles, 11 pass breakups, and 10 interceptions (two pick-sixes) as a junior, Foreman drew offers from Oklahoma, Virginia Tech, Missouri, Boston College, and Cal. Louisville’s persistence paid off, scheduling Foreman for an official visit June 5–7; his only other visit will be back to FSU in mid-June, as the Seminoles vie to lock down their rising star.
In the age-old drama of recruiting, Foreman is the teenager pretending to love their hometown one minute and Googling cross-country moving vans the next. Louisville recruiters have been swiping right on his talent so relentlessly it’s a wonder Foreman hasn’t been drafted into the ACC recruiting hall of fame. Meanwhile, Florida State staff are frantically refreshing their Flipgrid notifications, attempting to woo him with memes and video tours of campus squirrels. If only college decisions came with snack trays and confetti cannons—recruiting would finally be as glamorous as it sounds.
