Florida State<\/a><\/strong> quarterback DJ Uiagalelei<\/a><\/strong> is set to play his first game with the Seminoles on Saturday afternoon against Georgia Tech<\/a><\/strong> after previously playing at both Clemson<\/a><\/strong> and Oregon State<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Ahead of his first start with the Seminoles, Uiagalelei heard from last year\u2019s Florida State star quarterback in Jordan Travis<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

The Bills rookie has spoken with Uiagalelei multiple times since joining the FSU program, including on Friday, less than 24 hours before kickoff of the season opener. He spoke with Pat McAfee on Friday about his conversations with DJ Uiagalelei.<\/p>\n

\u201cI actually just texted DJ probably about 20 minutes ago,\u201d Jordan Travis said Friday on The Pat McAfee Show<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019ve talked to him a little bit, man. I\u2019m so excited to see him just go out there and ball, man.\u201d<\/p>\n

DJ Uiagalelei has been good but not great throughout his college career. He threw for 43 touchdowns the past two seasons but was also benched his last year at Clemson after struggling down the stretch.<\/p>\n

Travis is confident that Uiagalelei will be able to do what he did during his time in Tallahassee and blossom into one of the best quarterbacks in the country this fall.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s had a narrative that I\u2019ve had before, and I can\u2019t wait to watch him go out there and just do what he does, just be himself,\u201d Travis said. \u201cThe guys on the team love him and talk about him all the time to me. So he\u2019s a special person and I love supporting people that are just good people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nick Saban\u00a0raves about FSU\u2019s personnel entering Week 0<\/h2>\n

While some have question marks about DJ Uiagalelei, overall the Florida State roster is loaded.<\/p>\n

ESPN analyst Nick Saban spoke on The Pat McAfee Show about the Seminoles on Friday. Saban doesn\u2019t just think\u00a0the \u2018Noles<\/a>\u00a0will be great\u00a0in their conference<\/a>\u00a0but nationally, too. He sees them as one of the five or so best teams in the nation just based on what they have\u00a0on their roster<\/a>\u00a0with returners and\u00a0portal pieces<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cFlorida State<\/a>, to me, has one of the best five, probably, personnel-wise, teams in the country,\u201d Saban said. \u201cThe way they\u2019ve been able to\u00a0reload through the portal<\/a>\u00a0as well as having good recruiting and good young players coming up in the program that they\u2019ve developed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think they\u2019re one of the best teams in the country. Looking at them on the field, they\u2019re a very physical, good-looking team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Florida State and Georgia Tech will open the season on Saturday. This should be a quality conference matchup to kick off the start of the season in\u00a0college football<\/a>. Saban thinks so too with his expectations for both the Seminoles and Yellow Jackets in 2024.<\/p>\n
