FSU to honor Burt Reynolds with 'BAN ONE' helmet decal

The Florida State Seminoles will honor alum Burt Reynolds with a helmet decal that reads "BAN ONE," a reference to Reynolds' movie Smokey and the Bandit.

Reynolds, who died at 82 on Thursday, played running back for the Seminoles from 1954-57.

Florida State tweeted out an image of the decal alongside a Trans Am bearing the same license plate.

Though his football career was cut short by injuries while at FSU, he remained an ardent supporter of the Seminoles and received an honorary degree from the university in 1981.
