In the weeks since the FSU football team finished with the first losing regular season and no trip to a bowl game in decades, the Seminoles have been waiting to find out which players would be staying with the Noles and which ones would be taking their talents elsewhere – whether to another school or the NFL.
As of Wednesday, the only major defection is Brian Burns – and we can’t blame him for that because No. 99 is about to get paid by the pros after another monster season. At the same time, names like linebacker Dontavious Jackson and cornerback Levonta Taylor announced they are staying with the Seminoles – giving both positions a much needed boost of depth.
