As I tell you this, FSU Coach Mike Norvell has not named a starting QB for Sunday’s season opener against visiting Notre Dame. But whenever McKenzie Milton takes a snap, as a starter or backup, it will be the continuation of an inspirational story for the ages.In 2018 when Milton was carted off the field with a devastating knee injury, few expected the junior to ever play football again.

He and Jordan Travis, a redshirt sophomore who started most of last season, entered this week neck-in-neck for the starting job. On FSU’s midweek depth chart they were listed as co-starters.Whatever happens, the 23-year-old Milton is already a winner.
