Florida State didn’t waste any time getting Patrick Surtain Sr. on the recruiting trail.
With a former NFL All-Pro defensive back now on the coaching staff, the Seminoles made sure to get Surtain in front of as many high school prospects as possible.
“I got here three weeks ago and they put me on the road the next day,” said Surtain. “But it’s been fun.”
It’s been a quick transition for the 46-year-old, who made the unusual career move of going from the NFL (Miami Dolphins defensive assistant) to become the Seminoles’ defensive backs coach.
