When Mike Norvell spoke to the media on Monday ahead of the season opener against Alabama, he spoke about the decision to name the true freshman a starter.
"I think he's been extremely productive... when he's got his opportunities, he's capitalized on them... I think he's earned the opportunity."Mike Norvell
By being named a starter, Jayvan Boggs becomes the first true freshman to earn a starting role to start the season for the Seminoles since 2019 which is an incredible mark for the freshman.
As a Senior in High School, Boggs was one of the most productive players in the Country, catching 99 passes for 2,133 yards and 21 touchdowns. Boggs' quickness is on full display with every route he runs and once the football is in his hands, he's as explosive as they come after the catch which will be massive for the Seminoles after a year where they couldn't get anything going on offense.
