#20 – Lamarcus Joyner

(Stephen M. Dowell/Orlando Sentinel)

Lamarcus Joyner is a 5’8″ 190 lbs defensive back out of Ft. Lauderdale, FL. It seems like just yesterday I was watching Joyner’s amazing highlight film out of St. Thomas Aquinas, but here he is headed into his senior season. Joyner has been one of the most consistent Seminoles over the past 3 years and begun his contributions right away. In 2010, as a true freshman cornerback, Joyner played on special teams and in a role off the bench for the Seminole defense. He finished with 23 tackles, 3 pass defended, and had an interception. His sophomore year, Joyner moved to safety and began to showcase his knack for finding the ball, get there in a hurry, and with a nasty disposition. Many times showing little regard for his own body, he would fly into the play to make a tackle or dislodge a ball, ending up with 54 tackles, 3 passes defended, and 4 interceptions. Joyner was well recognized for his play at the 2011 FSU team banquet being named the Most Improved Player on Defense, as well as, being named winner of the Bob Crenshaw Award, and one of eight sophomore academic awards By his junior season in 2012, Joyner had become the undisputed leader of the defense from his safety position. In 2012, he continued his excellent play in the FSU secondary with 51 tackles, 5 passes defended, and an interception. He also continued to make a big impact on special teams leading the team in kickoff returns, return yardage, and had a 90 yard kickoff return against Clemson to help the Noles momentum. Heading into his senior year, he is moving back to cornerback and is being nationally recognized for his play as he is on the Watch Lists for the Thorpe Award, Bednarik Award, Nagurski Trophy, Lott Impact Trophy, and Paul Hornug Award.

Mike Shumann

Mike Shumann was a 6’0″ 170 lbs wide receiver out of Tallahassee, FL. Shumann was a 4 year letterman for the Noles from 1973-77. He made an immediate impact as a true freshman in ’73 hauling in 21 passes for 380 yards and 2 touchdowns. In ’74, he built on a strong freshman season leading the team in catches (43) and touchdown receptions (3), while finishing second on the team with 515 yards. His junior year in 1976, Shumann saw a decrease in the number of catches he made, but a big jump in yards per catch that led to a healthy increase in his receiving yards. He led FSU in all receiving categories with 38 catches for 730 yards and 5 touchdowns with an impressive 19.2 yards per catch. After missing the ’76 season, Shumann returned for his redshirt senior season in ’77 and picked up right where he left off finishing 2nd on the team with 33 catches, but leading the team in yards (701), average per catch (21.2), and touchdowns (6). At the time of his graduation, Mike Shumann’s name was all over the FSU record books. In 1991, he was elected into the FSU Hall of Fame for his outstanding career. In 1978, Shumann was signed as a free agent by the San Fransisco 49ers. He spent 6 seasons in the NFL playing in 63 games and starting 16. He played in the 1982 Super Bowl for the 49ers against the Cincinnati Bengals. For his career he caught 62 passes for 760 yards and 5 touchdowns with the 49ers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and St. Louis Cardinals.
