No. 80 – WR Rashad Greene (2011-2014)

Why he should be honored: If FSU football is going to honor three of the greatest to ever play the position for the Seminoles in Biletnikoff, Sellers and this fall Warrick, then you have to honor the player who is right up there in the record books with the trip – and, in some cases, actually is on top of the list.

During his four seasons with the Seminoles, the Albany, Georgia native who was a prep star in Fort Lauderdale was a go-to player for the Noles who was known for his reliability. He was the bowl game MVP as a freshman and went for over 1,100 yards in each of his final two seasons – including 1,365 yards as a senior one year after being the prime target for Jameis Winston in the title season.

Greene finished as the all-time leader in receiving yards for the program while also finishing second in a single season for that 2014 campaign. His 29 career touchdowns have him tied with Sellers for second all time and just two behind Warrick – meaning he should be considered for the same honor.
