TALLAHASSEE — Florida State veteran offensive lineman Andrew Boselli spoke with the media on Thursday.

He discussed his recent one-on-one meeting with head coach Mike Norvell.

“Yesterday I did, yesterday morning,” Boselli said of meeting with Norvell. “The thing he emphasized to me is that we want to win now. One of my frustrations with the new kind of coaching switch was like, dang, they are going to be really good and it is my senior year and I’m almost done. He made it very clear that his goal is to win now, immediately, starting in January when he takes over. Things are going to change. That has kind of fired me up as a senior. Of course that is what you want to hear.”

Boselli shared more on his meeting with Norvell, saying that the new head coach wanted to just listen for the opening half to whatever Boselli wanted to share and the second half was more of a Q&A session. In general, Boselli is excited about the future under the new head coach and his offensive staff.

Another item that came to light during Boselli’s time with the media is that he is very familiar with new quarterback signee Chubba Purdy, who he hosted during his official visit to Tallahassee this past weekend.

“So I was able to host a couple of the recruits and I was obviously following them [yesterday during Early Signing Day],” Boselli said. “One of my good family friends, Chubba Purdy, I was following him pretty closely.

“I was very fired up,” Boselli said of Purdy’s commitment and signing. “I actually hosted him on his official visit. So him deciding to come here was just very, very exciting. Someone I’ve literally played Turkey Bowls with when I was 10 years old. To go from Turkey Bowls to Florida State is literally like a dream come true.”

Boselli explained that his mother and Purdy’s mother grew up together and attended the same high school in California. So that led to the two knowing each other much of their lives.

He spoke further about his ties to Purdy, FSU’s recruitment of him and hosting him over the week. Boselli also spoke more about Norvell, bowl prep under the guidance of Jake Reed, and much more.
