Ward was a Seminole freshman in 1989 and Weinke signed his National of Letter of Intent to attend Florida State in February of 1990.

But just as Ward was a gifted multi-sport star, so was Weinke, and a shot at baseball postponed Weinke’s Seminole career and prevented the two QBs from sharing more than just a few days on campus. Ward went on to win the 1993 Heisman. Weinke, following a six-year career in the Toronto Blue Jays minor league system, followed Ward to Tallahassee. Like Ward, he led the Seminoles to a national title and brought a Heisman Trophy to Florida State, which we are celebrating this year on the 25th Heisman anniversary of the award.
