Derek Schmidt rewrote the Florida State record books as the Seminoles' kicker from 1984-1987. When Schmidt graduated in 1987, he left as Florida State's all-time leading scorer and had set the NCAA
record with 393 career points. Schmidt led Florida State in scoring in each of his four seasons as a Seminole. As a sophomore, Schmidt was selected to the All-South Independent and All-Metro Conference team and received Associated Press and UPI All-American honorable mention. In 1986, he made 108 consecutive PATs, was named to the All-South Independent Second Team and earned Associated Press All-American honorable mention. As a senior, Schmidt was second in the country in scoring and was named Associated Press Third Team All-American. Schmidt set several records at Florida State including the longest field goal of 54 yards, most field goals made with 73, best career field goal percentage at 70.2 percent, most PATs made with 174 and most consecutive PATs with 108. All but one of Schmidt's Florida State records still stands today, and he ranks fourth on the all-time leading scorer list in the NCAA record books.
