The hype around Jasen Lopez’s spring has him part of CBS Sports’ ACC newcomers to watch:

The return of Duce Robinson has overshadowed others at the position, but Lopez has quietly emerged since coming over from Florida State’s basketball team. He handled punt return duties during the spring and cracked the wide receiver rotation. Despite a crowded room in Tallahassee, Lopez has a chance to become a difference-maker this season.

Devin Carter is another true freshman receiver who has already generated buzz. Cornerback Chuck Kennon also came up in conversations with sources, but one Florida State source told CBS Sports that either freshman receiver has a clearer path to the field given the Seminoles’ depth in the secondary.

The only thing funnier than Jameis Winston teaching Zlatan how to throw a football is Zlatan showing Jameis how to kick a football.

“Not impressive.”
