Welcome to Andy Staples on three. We have a big, big show for you today. The new starting, well, we don't know if he's won the starting job yet, but we think he's going to be the starting quarterback at Florida State. DJ Ui Ungalalae joins a show. I visited with him in Tallahassee. He is a very happy dude in Tallahassee. His third college team, he's back in the

0:24.8

ACC, and I think he's got some big expectations for this year. And it was an interesting

0:30.9

situation because this is a guy who went to Clemson as the number one recruit. He became the starter right after Trevor Lawrence.

0:40.5

He played well, but not as well as they would have liked.

0:44.9

And then he ends up going to Oregon State.

0:46.4

Has a very good year with Oregon State last year.

0:48.0

But of course, before that season even started, the Pack 12 blew up.

0:52.1

And so had to figure out what he wanted to do.

growing up, and Taylor Kelly played quarterback for Mike

Norville at Arizona State. So DJ, you did a lot of research going into this situation. And

1:34.5

it's interesting because when he committed to Florida State, I thought I was kind of lukewarm on it.

1:40.4

After being in Tallahassee talking to DJ, seeing how his teammates react to him, I tell you what,

1:46.7

it feels like a very good fit. It feels like this is going to work very, very well in Tallahassee.

1:54.3

And it's a situation where Florida State is they're not rebuilding because the build to get to last year to that 13 and 0 ACC championship

2:05.2

season was extensive and it was a program wide top to bottom build because what might
