It was a big week for FSU News with National Signing Day and FSU sport in action during the week.

Even though college football season has been over, the first week in February is always exciting with National Signing Day, and man did FSU knock it out of the park.

The Noles closed with the number two class in the nation according to 247 Sports. Former Noles Jameis Winston and Devonta Freeman played in their first NFL Pro Bowls on Sunday. Winston was also voted as the NFL Rookie of the Year by the fans. Former Noles Jalen Ramsey and Roberto Aguayo won their respective College All-Star Challenge competitions

"However, when 4-star CB Carlos Becker announced his pledge to attend FSU, it seems like the momentum picked up from there and never let up. It was absolute fireworks and BOOM Shakalaka’s off NBA JAM going off on Twitter. 4-star LB Dontavious Jackson spurned Texas to announce his pledge to FSU."

"The only time football fans pay attention to kickers is when they miss a kick, or send a kickoff flying out-of-bounds which costs their team significant field position. If a kicker makes a 52 yard field goal, well that’s what he gets paid to do. If he misses the same exact field goal, he is terrible according to most football fans. It’s a thankless job."
