FSU AND ARKANSAS

Florida State football lost to the Virginia Cavaliers on Friday in double overtime by a score of 46-38. The Seminoles will attempt to heal their wounds as the arch-rival Miami Hurricanes come to town on Saturday night.

The program still has its dreams and aspirations in front of it. However, the same cannot be said about the Arkansas Razorbacks.

They lost to No. 22 Notre Dame by a score of 56-13 at home. This was a brutal loss to the program, as their head football coach, Sam Pittman, was fired over the weekend.

TAVION WALLACE

Fans might start to look at the Arkansas roster and see who could be a good fit to be in the Garnet and Gold. One player that should be monitored is linebacker Tavion Wallace. The coaching staff heavily recruited the former four-star prospect before the Georgia native chose the Razorbacks.

Wallace played in the contests between Arkansas State and Alabama A&M. Defensive coordinator Tony White emphasizes the importance of having linebackers in his scheme. It is also worth mentioning that the Seminoles were his “dream school” growing up.

This is a phrase that many individuals say in their recruitment process, and it doesn’t always work out in the Seminoles’ favor. However, Wallace would be worth kicking the tires on. He won’t be eligible to play for Florida State in 2025, but it could be yet another talented linebacker to add to their rotation.

The Seminoles already have pieces, such as Justin Cryer, Elijah Herring, Stefon Thompson, Caleb LaVallee, Omar Graham Jr., and Blake Nichelson. The more depth, the better.
