![]() Coach Bobby Bowden, Renegade and Chief Osceola |
Billy Allen, 6-0, 198, RB, Cleveland, OH - Was the surprise of spring practice...joined the Tribe as a walk-on but has scholarship now after working his way to a second team berth for fall practice...an Air Force veteran who played service ball in Europe who caught eye of Bobby Bowden when Seminole mentor was speaking at clinics there last summer...never recruited out of high school...if he can cure fumble problems in fall expect him to contribute.
Greg Allen, 5-10, 185, RB, Milton - Extremely strong and powerful runner for his size...excellent speed (4.5) and agility...AAA all-state and All-South selection...rushed for over 2,000 yards as a senior.
Tracy Ashley, 5-10, 185, DB, Eastman, GA - Versatile all-stater as a defensive back but also played quarterback...solid 4.6 speed and great range in the secondary...hard hitter.

John Feagin, 6-0, 160, DB, Tallahassee - Hometown product from a great program that has produced nothing but starters at FSU...solid two-way performer as defensive back and wide receiver...AAA all-stater.
Tim Flasher, 6-5, 200, OL, Hollywood - Good growth potential...strong blocker and hard worker...honorable mention all-state...FSU coaches say they will bring him along slowly.
Darryl Gray, 6-2, 215, DE, Lake Wales - Outstanding all-around athlete...AAA second team all-state...very active player with good range.
Jessie Hester, 6-0, 175, WR, Belle Glade - Superior athlete...all-state and All-South selection...outstanding speed (9.6) and moves...should play immediately...great kick returner...his signing gave FSU an outstanding recruiting year.

Tom McCormick, 6-2, 225, C, Panama City - Another walk-on story...he came to the Tribe without a scholarship in fall of '80 and his only duty was with scout and junior varsity teams...his scout team efforts drew the attention of the coaching staff and he was named defensive scout team MVP...this fall the coaching staff elected to try him at center and he worked his way into the backup role to Bob Merson...line coach George Henshaw says McCormick "has good quickness and is intelligent"...he made improvement each day in spring drills and impressed head coach Bobby Bowden enough that he will have a scholarship when fall practice begins...born August 26, 1962.
Brian McCrary, 5-11, 175, DB, Germantown, TN - Two-way player...UPI all-state first team and AP honorable mention...rushed for almost 2,000 yards in 1980...also All-South...state Golden Gloves boxing champ in his weight class.

Ken Roe, 6-1, 200, LB, Cropwell, AL - Called by position coach Gene McDowell "the most improved linebacker we had in spring practice"...will be a top candidate for starting assignment in season opener...made progress during the spring in areas of knowledge and poise...still needs to improve speed and leg strength to become a starter...more from McDowell: "Ken became a solid player during the spring...he executes the defense well, has total intensity, plays in high gear play after play, shows poise and leadership and loves to play football"...working his way to being close to a starting position hasn't been easy for Roe - he started the spring as the last linebacker on the depth chart ladder...born August 25, 1962.
Bruce Shoemaker, 6-0, 175, DB, Fort Lauderdale - Outstanding defender with a reputation for making big plays and big hits...runs a 4.6 in the 40 yard dash...AAAA all-state.
