Saturday was different.
Florida State practiced on the weekend, which was the only time of the spring. But more changes were in store. As Mike Norvell mentioned Thursday, the Seminoles put on the pads for the first time and turned up the physicality. The head man wanted an intense practice for multiple reasons, including the on-lookers. FSU hosted dozens of 2025 and 2026 recruits over the weekend and allowed the prep players to take in practice. Current and former players could be seen chatting them up between reps while some of the coaching staff came over and explained the purpose of each drill.
