Mike Norvell and Florida State Make a Decision on Their Starting QB

Daniels brings 23 career starts and 4,783 passing yards after beating out Kevin Sperry in a 15-practice spring battle, Norvell said.

  • On Tuesday, Florida State head coach Mike Norvell announced transfer Ashton Daniels as the team's starting quarterback, ending a spring competition with redshirt freshman Kevin Sperry.
  • Norvell said he was "not ready" to name a starter after practice last week, though he observed growth in both players throughout 12 practices and three scrimmages.
  • In 37 career games, the former Auburn and Stanford quarterback has amassed 4,783 passing yards and 1,397 rushing yards with 35 total touchdowns, bringing four years of dual-threat experience.
  • The program now focuses on building team chemistry before the Aug. 29 season opener against New Mexico State, with Norvell praising Daniels' ability to "live in the pocket."
  • Daniels becomes the third new starting quarterback in three seasons as Florida State seeks stability after transfers DJ Uiagalelei and Tommy Castellanos struggled during their tenures.
