Florida State to be without a top linebacker versus LSU
Florida State will be down a talented linebacker in Sunday evening’s clash against LSU in New Orleans.
Amari Gainer went down early in Florida State’s 47-7 win over Duquesne Saturday. Florida State head coach Mike Norvell updated his status Tuesday evening.
Mike Norvell says linebacker Amari Gainer “probably” won’t play against LSU after he went down with an injury vs. Duquesne.

Gainer has been a solid piece for the Seminoles across his three years in Tallahassee. He totaled 4 tackles in the season opener against the Dukes. He’s also averaged just above 64 tackles across his three seasons for the Seminoles, including a 59 tackles season last year.
Gainer was not a starter for the Seminoles. He sat behind redshirt junior Tatum Bethune on the Week 0 depth chart.
