Florida State football head coach Mike Norvell is set to discuss the Seminoles’ first day of preseason camp, with a press conference expected to start at 11 a.m.
FSU held its first of 18 practices on July 29, with the Seminoles ramping up preparation for kickoff against New Mexico State on Aug. 29.
The Seminoles were picked to finish 11th in the ACC in the conference predicted order of finish poll, the lowest in the program’s history. For Norvell to turn that around, he will need a dramatic improvement after a 7-17 record over the last two seasons.
That starts in preseason camp. Follow live updates from Norvell and select players below.
