Coach Norvell, I just want to take a moment to thank you for everything you’ve done for me and my family during my time at Florida State. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to play at Florida State University, believing in me, and seeing something in me even when I may not have seen it in myself. You’ve played a major role in changing my life, not just on the field but off the field as well, and for that, I’ll forever be grateful. I want you to know that your impact on me goes far beyond football. The lessons, conversations, guidance, and genuine love you’ve shown me and my family are things I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. I’ll never forget the day you yelled at me for thrity minutes straight at practice for running out of bounds. 😂😂 It's one of those moments I'll always look back on and laugh about, but it also shows how much you cared about pushing me to be the best version of myself. I wish you nothing but success and happiness in whatever comes next. I know greater days are ahead, and I have no doubt that God has something special in store for you. And just like you would always tell me, keep your head up and your chest poked out! Never forget the impact you’ve made on so many lives, including mine. Thank you for everything, Coach. I appreciate you more than words can explain, and I love you! ❤️🍢
