Our top 100 FSU football players series begins with an exemplary ’Nole, both on the field and in the classroom: middle linebacker Daryl Bush. Bush wore the garnet and gold during the heart of Florida State’s dynasty years, spending a five-year career with FSU from 1993-1997.
Rather fittingly, Bush made his way to Tallahassee from Altamonte Springs in Seminole County, Florida, redshirting during Florida State’s first title season of 1993 while learning from Derrick Brooks. But he didn’t remain on the sideline for long, patrolling the middle of Mickey Andrews’ defense as a four-year starter thereafter.
In 1995, Bush was a Football News Honorable Mention All-American and a second-team All-ACC choice.
