- Sat out last season after transferring from Biscayne College. Had fine spring practice when opportunity presented itself after many running backs went down due to injuries. Gained scholarship
following spring drills. Is outstanding receiver and sparkled in couple of scrimmages. Only handicap is size.

- Considered best offensive lineman on last season's freshman team. Was making outstanding progress during spring practice before knee injury sidelined him near end. Coaches think he can be good one.
Has ability to be good drive blocker.
Doug Glosson, 6-1, 209, FB, Lexington, NC
- Enrolled at Florida State in spring quarter after finishing prep school at Fork Union Military Academy. Got opportunity this spring when so many Seminole running backs were injured. Responded
extremely well despite lack of experience. Has good size, speed and hands. Showed blocking improvement. Considering he was freshman, coaches were pleased with spring performance.
