The news broke Monday afternoon FSU football Recruiting Coordinator David Kelly was no longer on staff and former FSU player Mario Edwards Sr. would move to a coaching role on the defensive side of the ball.
Edwards Sr. will likely help coach defensive backs as that’s the position he played from 1995-99 while capturing All-ACC Honors in 1998-99.
He was a member of the 1999 NCAA National Championship team who’s been on staff in various roles since 2012 when his son and former five-star defensive end Mario Edwards Jr. was a player.
David Kelly had been with former coach Willie Taggart at both Oregon and South Florida before coming to FSU as wide receivers coach in 2018.
