Former FSU Football standouts, including Jared Verse and Jordan Travis, recognized at FSU-UM basketball game

The Florida State Seminoles took down the rival Miami Hurricanes on Wednesday night by a score of 74-66. While the Garnet and Gold are looking to finish the season strong on the hardwood, some FSU royalty was in attendance at the Donald L. Tucker Center for the matchup.

The 'Noles have now won 14 of the last 15 games against the 'Canes, a feat FSU basketball head coach Leonard Hamilton accomplished facing his former team for the final time as the Seminoles' head coach. For more coverage of the game, you can find it here:

However, despite the monumental and sentimental night for FSU basketball, five former FSU football players received some well-deserved airtime on TV and appreciation from fans in attendance on Wednesday.

The five former Florida State players included quarterback Jordan Travis, defensive end Jared Verse, running back Trey Benson, linebacker Amari Gainer, and wide receiver Peter Warrick.

The first three players, Travis, Verse, and Benson, all played a major role during the 2023 13-1* season, with an ACC championship to prove it. They were all selected by NFL organizations in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Gainer, however, transferred to North Carolina before the 2023 season but was an integral piece for the Seminoles during head coach Mike Norvell's first three seasons in Tallahassee. He went undrafted in the 2024 NFL Draft, but made the Las Vegas Raiders' 53-man roster.

Warrick is one of the top players in program history after helping lead Florida State its second ntional championship in 1999. He was a consensus first-team All-American in back-to-back years to conclude his college career and spent time in the NFL. Warrick was inducted into the FSU Hall of Fame in 2010. He's still the program's all-time leader in touchdown receptions (31) and ranks third in receiving yards (3,517).
