Douglas also explained to me FSU Coach Mike Norvell’s intention for him is to flip his position from quarterback to tight end. At 6 foot 5, Luke will pair his natural size and athleticism to become a physical playmaker for the next three to four years in Tallahassee.
Luke Douglas now becomes the fifth member of Palm Beach County’s class of 2024 to continue their academic and athletic careers at Florida State: Amaree Williams (DE/TE Benjamin), Ricky Knight III (DB Cardinal Newman), Jayden Parrish (LB Atlantic), Jake Weinberg (K American Heritage Delray).
