It may have come in a blowout against a vastly-overmatched opponent, but this is pretty damn cool nonetheless.
Per Florida State’s official website, the grandmother of Justin Motlow is 100-percent Seminole Indian, while Motlow himself is 25-percent. In 2014, Motlow accepted a preferred walk-on spot at FSU, becoming the first Seminole Tribe of Florida member to play football for the Seminoles.
In the fourth quarter of FSU’s 77-6 blowout of FCS Delaware State, Motlow caught a 12-yard touchdown pass from J.J. Cosentino. Obviously, Motlow became the first Seminole Tribe member to score a touchdown for the ‘Noles, with the football program ensuring that the football Motlow caught finds a very special home.
Ran into FSU athletic Director Stan Wilcox after the game. He had the ball from Justin Motlow’s touchdown and plans to give it to the Seminole Tribe of Florida. Motlow is the first ever member of the tribe to play and now the first to score for #FSU.
