Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher said “Everybody says, well he’s going to stay one (more) year and leave. ... I think it’ll be two,” and Winston backed up his statement, saying whatever Fisher says “most likely is true.”
“Obviously I’m a big baseball person, so that’s an accurate statement because I plan on playing baseball next season anyway,” said Winston, who is expected to be Florida State’s closer this season.
Winston is expected to be the No. 1 overall pick in the draft whenever he decides to leave school, and could end up departing with multiple Heismans and national championships, after winning one of each as a redshirt freshman in 2013. After winning the starting quarterback job in camp, Winston threw for 4,057 yards and 40 touchdowns against 10 interceptions during the Seminoles’ run to the crown.
