Florida State is making another front-office hire to go along with the expected addition of general manager John Garrett.<\/a><\/p>\n

According to On3\u2019s Pete Nakos, the Seminoles are expected to hire Taylor Edwards as executive director of player acquisitions. He most recently worked in the front office at the University of Miami and at South Carolina before that. Chris Nee of 247Sports was the first to report the news.<\/p>\n
