Lee Corso came to Florida State in 1953 as one of the most highly recruited players in Florida history. He starred on both offense and defense on the football field leading the Seminoles in interceptions in 1954, rushing in 1955 and passing in 1956. He was the FSU career interception leader with 14 until Deion Sanders tied him in the late 1980's. He was honorable mention All-American (Associated Press) as a senior in 1956 and selected to play in the Blue-Gray All-Star game. Corso also played in the outfield on the Seminole baseball team. After graduation, he became an assistant football coach at Florida State, Maryland and Navy before becoming head coach at Louisville and Indiana. Corso then transitioned to television broadcasting becoming a household name as ESPN's top football analyst.
