Florida State head coach Mike Norvell and new general manager John Garrett were not lying when they said that they’d be leaving no stone unturned in their quest to rebuild the Seminoles into a championship-caliber program. As it turns out, the next answer in the middle of the defense might be waiting under a Shade Tree.
Legendary former Florida State linebacker Marvin “Shade Tree” Jones became a part of Seminole lore in the early 1990s. The Miami native won the Butkus and Lombardi Awards, earned All-American honors, and even finished fourth in Heisman voting in 1992. Now, it appears the 53-year-old still has one more season left in him.
