For much of the time that the FSU football program has been in existence, a man by the name Burt Reynolds has been associated with the program. It started in the 1950s when the high school running back from West Palm Beach made his way to Tallahassee to play for the Seminoles – rooming with another player from Miami named Lee Corso.
Though his career with the Noles and time in school would be cut short thanks to a knee and spleen injury, Reynolds never forgot about the Seminoles when he became one of the most visible men in all of Hollywood.
