FRISCO, Texas - Jeff Sims has already nailed the easy part: Florida State’s future quarterback doesn’t like Miami.

Actually, it’s a little stronger than that. “I hate Miami,” said the rising senior at Jacksonville’s Sandalwood High School.

But it wasn’t always that way. Sims grew up a Miami fan, but started drifting away from the Hurricanes as his recruitment heated up in high school - Miami didn’t show the same level of interest as Florida State, leading Sims to verbally commit to second-year coach Willie Taggart in February.
