The preseason honors continue for a group of Seminoles that are loaded with talent.
Three Seminoles – running back Lawrance Toafili, quarterback DJ Uiagalelei and defensive lineman Sione Lolohea – were named to the Polynesian College Football Player of the Year Watch List Thursday. The Lombardi Award Watch List includes defensive lineman Patrick Payton and offensive lineman Darius Washington and is presented to the top offensive or defensive lineman.
Uiagalelei, also on the watch lists for the Walter Camp Player of the Year, Maxwell, Davey O’Brien and Unitas Golden Arm awards, has started 40 games in his career and earned a 30-10 record while accounting for 9,451 yards of total offense with 8,319 yards and 57 touchdowns passing and 1,132 yards and 21 touchdowns on the ground.
Lolohea, an Oregon State transfer originally from Houma Tukulalo Vava’u, Tonga, played 40 games with 22 starts over his four seasons with the Beavers. A second-team All-Pac 12 player in 2023, he started all 13 games with 47 tackles, 8.5 for loss with 1.5 sacks, seven quarterback hurries, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. He was named the Pac-12 Defensive Lineman of the Week after notching a career-high 10 tackles in a win vs. No. 18 UCLA.
Washington, from Pensacola, has started 37 of the 47 games he has appeared in over the past five seasons, starting at center, left tackle and right tackle. He was a first-team All-ACC offensive lineman last season and was the ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week in FSU’s 39-17 win over Virginia Tech when running back Trey Benson ran for 200 yards on just 11 carries, setting the FSU record with 18.2 yards per carry.
