UPDATE: New Mexico State head coach Tony Sanchez mentioned that the starting quarterback for the Aggies will likely be Furman transfer Trey Hedden. Florida State will be taking on New Mexico State in its home opener on Saturday, August 29th. Hedden is from Tampa, Florida, and has struggled with turnover issues at Furman where he recorded 13 interceptions last season and 9 interceptions in 2024. Plus, he isn’t one to utilize his legs with having -176 rushing yards last year. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, Florida State is favored by 30.5 points at home. This is a pivotal 2026 campaign for head football coach Mike Norvell and they need to iron out the mistakes before taking on SMU in the massive Labor Day weekend matchup. 👀 #floridastate #noles #fsufootball #mikenorvell #fsudefense
