Winston chose Florida State in part because he was allowed to play for the Florida State Seminoles baseball team in addition to football. A switch-hitting batter and a right-handed thrower, he played as an outfielder and a pitcher as a freshman in 2013.

The buzz about Winston began building before he ever took his first snap. A five-star prospect out of Hueytown, Ala., he arrived in Tallahassee amid tremendous hype before redshirting behind incumbent starter EJ Manuel. That didn’t stop his legend from growing. In April 2013 Winston turned in a glimmering performance in the Seminoles’ spring game, ...
As far as first impressions go, Winston delivered an absolute masterpiece. He torched Pittsburghin his debut, going 25-of-27 for 356 passing yards with four touchdowns. The Seminoles dominated the Panthers 41-13 on Labor Day, and Winston coolly completed his first 11 attempts. He was so good, in fact, he made believers out of some high-profile view...
Winston’s stats the next four games: 65-of-92 for 1,085 passing yards with 13 touchdowns and two interceptions as the ‘Noles improved to 5-0. The highlight of this stretch came on Sept. 28 at Boston College, when Winston completed an insanely difficult Hail Mary to close the first half. With the score tied at 17 and three seconds remaining before t...
Up to this point, the excitement about Winston had steadily been rising. In Death Valley, it reached its peak. In a game billed as showdown of ACC heavyweights -- 6-0 Florida State visiting 6-0 Clemson -- Winston led his team to a start-to-finish rout. The Seminoles rolled 51-14, and Winston went 22-of-34 for 444 yards with three touchdowns and a p...
On Nov. 11, TMZ requested a copy of a Tallahassee Police Department incident report in which Winston was listed as a suspect in a sexual assault case. The request prompted news of the investigation to become public; a woman first met with police immediately after she was allegedly raped on Dec. 7, 2012, but the case went dormant. The TPD’s flawed h...
Less than two weeks after Meggs announced that Winston would not face criminal charges as a result of the investigation, the quarterback won the 79th Heisman Trophy in New York. Winston claimed the prize in a landslide: He totaled 2,205 points in the vote, beating out other finalists AJ McCarron (704), Jordan Lynch (558), Andre Williams (470), Manz...
For all of the impressive things Winston did on a football field over the course of 2013, he never had to rally the ‘Noles from a major deficit. That changed in Pasadena, Calif., where Winston led Florida State back from a 21-3 hole to defeat Auburn 34-31 and secure the program’s first national title since 1999. The game-winner came with 13 seconds...
This is when the narrative of Winston being in the headlines for all the wrong reasons fully congealed. The Heisman-winning quarterback shoplifted $32.72 worth of crab legs from a supermarket in Tallahassee. The incident was caught on surveillance cameras, and Winston received an adult citation forcing him to perform at least 20 hours of community ...
Winston missed his first college football game after he was seen jumping up on a table on Florida State’s campus and yelling an expletive-laced phrase. He was originally suspended for just the first half against Clemson, but the school later announced he would miss the entire game once it discovered that he had not been entirely truthful with offic...
A season after Florida State pummeled most of its ACC competition, it developed a reputation for living dangerously. That included six notable come-from-behind victories, the majority of which saw Winston shine in the second half. • Florida State 56, NC State 41 (Sept. 27): NC State led 24-7 in the first quarter. • Florida State 31, Notre Dame 27 (...
