DJ Uiagalelei Surprises FSU Football Team With and resignation and farewell message.

There has been a lot of conversation surrounding the culture room and team chemistry at Florida State this offseason. Most of the discussions surfaced following dangerous rhetoric from national talking heads after the Seminoles were unjustly snubbed from the College Football Playoff last December.

But it’s a new year and a new team which means it’s time to put some of these narratives to bed (or at least to rest). Florida State starting quarterback DJ Uiagalelei did just that when he provided each of his new teammates with an awesome gift and special message to begin the first game week of the 2024 season.

On Monday, the Seminoles received custom Beats headphones, courtesy of Uiagalelei. Along with the gift, the veteran quarterback pinned a message to every player, “I couldn’t ask to go to war with a better group of guys. Thankful to be a Seminole and part of the brotherhood!!! – DJ”

Uiagalelei was one of 15 college stars who partnered with Beats By Dre in NIL deals last fall. Jordan Travis was also among that group and gifted Florida State custom headphones in 2023. Uiagalelei’s similar gesture says a lot about him as a player and person considering he just arrived in Tallahassee in January.
