No. 1 – Marvin Jones (Linebacker / 1990-1992)

High School: Miami Northwestern

The next in a family line that came from South Florida to Tallahassee (one that continues today with his nephew), the man they called “Shade Tree” was the first in a line of great linebackers to play for the Seminoles. Jones was a two-time consensus All-American, as well as a winner of the Butkus and Lombardi awards during his junior season (which included finishing in the top 10 of the Heisman voting). He would go on to a solid NFL career after finishing his time in Tallahassee as the top player to come out of Miami.
