In a bold and unexpected move, the Florida State Seminoles have secured former Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe, adding a dynamic playmaker to their roster. Milroe, who recently declared for the NFL Draft, has opted instead to continue his college career with the Seminoles, a decision that has sent shockwaves through the college football landscape.
Milroe, a standout dual-threat quarterback, led Alabama to an SEC Championship and a College Football Playoff berth in 2024. Known for his explosive athleticism and deep-ball accuracy, he threw for over 3,000 yards and 25 touchdowns last season while adding 800 rushing yards and 12 scores on the ground. His ability to extend plays and make clutch throws has drawn comparisons to some of the best mobile quarterbacks in recent years.
Florida State, coming off a strong season but looking to solidify its quarterback position, wasted no time in making a compelling pitch to Milroe. Head coach Mike Norvell emphasized the team’s offensive system, which caters to a quarterback with Milroe’s skill set, and the opportunity to compete for a national championship.
“This is a game-changer for our program,” Norvell said. “Jalen brings experience, leadership, and an electric play style that fits perfectly with what we’re building here at FSU.”
Milroe’s arrival bolsters a Seminoles squad that has been searching for stability at quarterback following the departure of Jordan Travis. With a talented supporting cast and a strong defense, Florida State now finds itself firmly in the national championship conversation.
Milroe’s decision to join FSU instead of heading to the NFL raises questions about his long-term plans, but one thing is certain—the Seminoles just landed one of the most electrifying players in college football.
