Today marks the halfway point of our countdown of the greatest Seminoles to wear each number as 50 days remain until Florida State’s 2016 season opener against Ole Miss in Orlando.
It’s incredibly fitting that at the halfway point of the countdown,we have a legendary Seminole who wore No. 50 for his entire career and has since had the number retired, the second retired number to this point in the countdown.
Defensive tackle Ron Simmons arrived at FSU as the first true recruiting gem of head coach Bobby Bowden’s still-young career, coming to Florida State in 1977, Bowden’s second year with the school.
