Florida State Seminoles Football History
Florida State University first had a fledgling football team in the ’50s, featuring future college coach and ESPN analyst Lee Corso, as well as actor Burt Reynolds, who gained international fame after a series of injuries shifted his focus from football to filmmaking. Coach Bill Peterson oversaw the rise of Florida State's program from 1961 to 1970, and mentored Bobby Bowden, who led the Seminoles into national prominence as head coach from 1976 to 2009.
Three Heisman Trophy winners have played for the Seminoles: Charlie Ward in 1993, Chris Weinke in 2000 and Jameis Winston in 2013. Other notable Seminole legends include Fred Belitnikoff, whose name graces the trophy given for best college wide receiver, WWE Hall of Famer Ron Simmons, Hall of Fame linebacker Derrick Brooks and legendary cornerback Deion "Prime Time" Sanders. Florida State's biggest rivals include Florida and the University of Miami, as well as in-conference opponents Virginia and Clemson.
The Florida State Seminoles are the class of the Atlantic Coast Conference, having won a stunning 15 conference championships and six Atlantic Division titles since joining the ACC in 1992, in addition to national championships in 1993, 1999 and 2013.
