Florida State quarterback James Blackman has had a lot thrown at him during his time with the Seminoles.
Blackman juggled going from starter to backup to starter again as his career ebbed and flowed throughout a tumultuous time in the program’s history. FSU has had three different head coaches since Blackman arrived in 2017 and he’s been asked to learn four different offensive systems.
His latest coach, Mike Norvell, arrived after leading a high-scoring Memphis team to an American Athletic Conference title and a spot in a New Year’s Six Access Bowl game.
“Coach Norvell doesn’t make anything easy,” Blackman said during a videoconference with reporters after the start of preseason camp.
