The Florida State Seminoles may have been snubbed by the College Football Playoff committee, but they landed their quarterback for 2024 on Monday. 

DJ Uiagalelei told ESPN he committed to Florida State from Oregon State, the third team for Uiagalelei in his college career.

"That's where I wanted to go the whole time," Uiagalelei told ESPN. "I didn't talk to many other programs. For the most part, I was locked in at Florida State. I appreciated them throughout the whole process. I wanted to be a Seminole. I wanted to be part of the program. I'm just blessed that Coach [Mike] Norvell wanted to take me. I can't wait to get there and get to work."

Uiagalelei also considered entering the 2024 NFL Draft and did not visit any other schools besides Florida State.

The quarterback situation at FSU has become a mess over the last several weeks following the season-ending injury to Jordan Travis. 

Travis suffered a leg injury against North Alabama in the second-to-last game of the regular season. Backup quarterback Tate Rodemaker started against Florida to end the regular season but was forced to miss the ACC Championship Game against Louisville with a concussion.
