Since star defensive tackle Marvin Wilson started a discussion about social justice within the Florida State football program last month, the team has shown a dedicated effort to improve their contributions within the community and elevate themselves to the status of “more than an athlete.”
That’s been demonstrated in actions from defensive tackle Corey Durden organizing a unity walk for Tallahassee to Wilson starting his own advocacy program for children. But the biggest example so far has come from the team launching its “Adopt a School” service, which is starting with Riley Elementary school, which sits just two miles down the road from Florida State’s campus.
