Florida State has officially announced seven new members who will be inducted into the Florida State Athletics Hall of Fame as part of the 2024 class.

According to a tweet from the FSU Seminoles official account, these are the athletes who will now be etched permanently into the history and celebration of Florida State sports:

Ryan Barthelemy (Baseball)
Anquan Boldin (Football)
Casey Hunter (Tennis)
Lamarcus Joyner (Football)
Phillip Riley (Track)
Katie Rybakova (Tennis)
Bernie Waxman (Administration)

Well, a diverse cast of characters who will be enshrined alongside the other legends of Seminole athletics over the years. Specifically, guys like Boldin and Joyner will grab headlines for what they provided on the football field.

Anquan Boldin made his name back in the year of 2002, when he broke out for just over 1,000 yards receiving and caught 13 touchdown passes for an FSU team that went 9-5. Of course, he also enjoyed a very successful professional career that included a Super Bowl ring, three Pro Bowl appearances and a Walter Payton Man of the Year Award.

On the other hand, Lamarcus Joyner is a former All-American who played at FSU about 10 years after Boldin. He was solid all four years he was on the team, but like Boldin, had an exceptional final season that featured 69 tackles, 5.5 sacks, two interceptions and four pass deflections. He also enjoyed a lengthy NFL career.

Florida State’s Jamir Watkins has entered his name into the transfer portal per On3’s Pete Nakos. Per Nakos, he has also done so with a ‘do not contact’ tag on his entry.

Watkins has already declared for the 2024 NBA Draft too. That leaves all options on the table for him as he begins the upcoming process.

Watkins just finished his one and only season with the Seminoles after three years at VCU. That leaves him with one season of eligibility left with whatever program, which will be the third of his career, that he eventually decides on if he returns to college.

Watkins averaged 11 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 1.4 steals across his Seminole career. In a career-best season this past year, Watkins posted 15.6 points, six rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.9 steals while shooting 45.7% from the field and 34.4% from three. That made him Florida State’s leader in points, rebounds, and steals.
