FSU HC Mike Norvell talks first Seminoles practice since scrimmage

Florida State football held its first practice of April, with Tuesday serving as the seventh day of spring camp.

The Seminoles scrimmaged on Saturday, offering the coaching staff’s first look into the team in situational action and the player’s first opportunity to measure their progress so far.

“We wanted to see a day of response...whether it’s drastic improvement or just a fundamental focus, situational awareness, the different elements that you get coming out of a scrimmage that will show up, especially for a lot of newcomers,” head coach Mike Norvell said. “It was a good test to see the mindset, response.”

Norvell said he liked the energy that the team came with, especially with the staff putting them in situations where a competitive edge was needed — “defined winner-loser” portions where the aim was to build off what was seen on Saturday.

“I thought guys handled it well, it was good physicality, good speed....guys that were given a great opportunity, we’re getting a great perspective of exactly where they are and I think some guys are taking advantage of it.”

Norvell highlighted the performance of several players from the scrimmage — running back Sam Singleton, wide receiver Elijah Moore, defensive back Earl Little and linebacker Omar Graham, who specifically was singled out for continued elevation over the past week, capping it off with a strong showing in the scrimmage.
