Many will remember Florida State wide-receiver Nyqwan Murray’s late fourth-quarter touchdown grab as the play that sealed an Orange Bowl victory over Michigan to conclude the Seminoles’ 2016 season. But there was still work to do, as the ’Noles clung to a one-point advantage with seconds left. The 33-32 FSU win became academic when now-sophomore DB Carlos Becker III intercepted a Wolverine pass that closed things out in FSU’s favor.
Becker hadn’t done much on defense through 2016. Although he played in every game save the opener against Ole Miss, most of his snaps came on special teams, and he tallied just five total tackles all season, in addition to his aforementioned pick, the only of his college career thus far.
