LB OMAR GRAHAM JR.

Cue up the Jarrian Jones "I hear what you have been saying on Twitter" media session.

Florida State linebacker Omar Graham Jr. had himself a game. I saw what individuals were saying about him on social media. The coaching staff played the veteran, but he was dealing with a variety of injuries.

The injuries and inconsistencies set him back a little bit. In this stage of development, he could have decided to hang it up and accept defeat, but he showcased heart and pride in his play. Graham Jr. had likely one of his better games against Miami on Saturday, where he recorded three total tackles (one tackle for loss) and one sack.

He played for Stranahan High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and was a productive three-star high school prospect out of the 2022 recruiting cycle. It was great to see Graham Jr. perform well with being so close to his hometown in South Florida.
