Only win of the night: Florida State player proposes on field following JSU loss
By Keith Farner
Published:
One Florida State player had a unique feeling Saturday night despite the loss to Jacksonville State.
The Seminole went to one knee to propose to his girlfriend on the field in the moments after the game as players and staff were still on the field. Conventional wisdom seems to suggest that the unidentified player must’ve have planned the event, and communicated with both families to prepare for the proposal. Or else it seems he would have postponed the plans after the game didn’t go as planned.
The rollercoaster of emotions had to be something to digest after the Seminoles gave up a last-second touchdown to fall to the Gamecocks, and then the player drops to one knee to deliver one of the most memorable moments of his own life.
Here’s to the happy couple, and that they have a long and successful marriage.
