Alex Hornibrook leaves FSU to prepare for NFL Draft

He will probably get a backup gig somewhere. Wisconsin QBs always seem to get back up jobs.

 

I'm probably exaggerating.

Will be interesting to see how his hands measure at the combine.

 

A lot easier to hold a clipboard with big mitts.

Hornibrook will be lucky to get a rookie camp tryout somewhere. Might get an XFL or CFL opportunity.

The thing that makes me laugh is his hubris and delusion. Leaving the team and bypassing playing in a bowl game to prepare for the draft is fine if you're a blue chip sure fire first rounder. He should be ecstatic if he even gets on a practice squad.

I think it's more likely that he was told by their coaching staff that he wasn't going to play in their bowl game anyway - hasn't Blackman basically been the starter most of the year? "Working on draft status" is a nice way to say that Hornibrook is headed home now that the semester is done to train in hopes of catching on with a practice squad or more likely CFL gig.

Florida State have not been printing depth charts in their weekly game notes (?), but based on the weekly stat sheets it looks like Hornibrook was third string behind James Blackmon and Jordan Travis.
