Florida State Lands Coveted Transfer: Luke Petiteton Commits to Seminoles
In a major coup for the Florida State Seminoles, Wake Forest transfer Luke Petiteton has officially committed to the program. The talented offensive lineman, who has served as the Demon Deacons’ starting center for the past two seasons, brings a wealth of experience and skill to the Seminoles’ roster.
The news, which was met with widespread excitement among Florida State fans, is a significant boost to the team’s offensive line. Petiteton’s decision to join the Seminoles is a testament to the program’s growing reputation and the allure of playing for a storied institution like Florida State.
“I’m thrilled to welcome Luke to the Florida State family,” said Head Coach Mike Norvell. “He’s an exceptional talent with a proven track record of success. His experience and leadership will be invaluable to our team, and we’re excited to see him in garnet and gold.”
Petiteteton’s commitment to Florida State is the culmination of a highly publicized recruitment process. The talented lineman had been courted by several top programs, but ultimately chose the Seminoles due to their rich tradition of excellence and the opportunity to compete at the highest level.
“I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity to join the Florida State family,” said Petiteton. “The program’s history and tradition of excellence are unmatched, and I’m excited to be a part of it. I’m looking forward to getting to work with my new teammates and contributing to the team’s success.”
A 6’3″, 300-pound center, Petiteton has been a stalwart on the Wake Forest offensive line for the past two seasons. He has started 24 consecutive games for the Demon Deacons, earning All-ACC honors in 2022.
Petiteteton’s addition to the Florida State roster is a significant upgrade to the team’s interior line. His experience, strength, and agility will provide a major boost to the Seminoles’ running game and pass protection.
“Luke is a talented lineman with a strong work ethic and a passion for the game,” said Florida State Offensive Line Coach Alex Atkins. “He’s a natural fit for our system, and we’re excited to see him compete for a starting spot this spring.”
With Petiteton on board, the Seminoles’ offensive line is shaping up to be one of the most formidable units in the ACC. The team returns several key starters from last season, including tackles Robert Scott and Darius Washington, and guards Dillan Gibbons and Bryson Estes.
The addition of Petiteton provides a major boost to the team’s depth and talent, and sets the stage for a highly competitive spring practice. As the Seminoles look to build on last season’s success and make a run at the ACC championship, Petiteton’s experience and leadership will be invaluable assets to the team.
What’s Next for the Seminoles?
With Petiteton on board, the Seminoles will turn their attention to the upcoming spring practice. The team will hold 15 practices, culminating in the annual Spring Game on April 15.
The Seminoles will also host several top recruits on campus this spring, as they look to build on their momentum on the recruiting trail. With Petiteton’s commitment, the Seminoles have added a major piece to their puzzle, and will look to build on their success in the months to come.
As the Seminoles look to the future, one thing is clear: the addition of Luke Petiteton is a major coup for the program, and sets the stage for a highly successful season in 2023.
