Veteran tight end reflects on time at Florida State as he moves on to the 2023 NFL Draft

Multiple players on Florida State's roster exhausted their college eligibility following the Cheez-It Bowl victory against Oklahoma. Some of these players will be pursuing careers at the professional level while others are hanging up their cleats for good.

Veteran tight end Camren McDonald spent five years at Florida State under two head coaches and a plethora of other changes. Despite the adversity, he stuck around and ended up having his most productive season in 2022.

On Thursday afternoon, McDonald released a message reflecting on his time with the Seminoles as he moves on to prepare for the upcoming NFL Draft.

"2018-22. My time at Florida State was the most transformative time of my life. I take so much pride in leaving this program in a much better position than what we received it in. I will never be able to thank the Seminole Family enough for the relationships that this university has introduced to me. Luckily for me these relationships will last forever.

"I am so excited, not only for the future of Seminole football as they continue their climb, but for the entire university and everyone who calls themselves a Seminole. My future is as as bright as can be and my experience at FSU has prepared me for life.

Those who know me, know I have always and will always bleed Garnet and Gold. There are no words that can accurately depict the burning passion that I have for this university and the love for the individuals within the community. So once again, with everything in me, Thank you Florida State I will love you forever.

With that being said I am overwhelmingly happy to announce that I will be entering the 2023 NFL Draft.

It's been real Seminole Family!"
