Bill Cappleman
Bill Cappleman was a 6’3″ 210 lbs quarterback out of Dunedin, FL. Cappleman quite simply rewrote the Florida State record book during his time as signal caller claiming all season and career records upon his graduation.

Cappleman was elected to the FSU Hall of Fame in 1984. He was drafted in the 2nd Round of the NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings and spent 2 years in the NFL playing sparingly.

Gary Pajcic
Gary Pajcic was a 6’2″ 192 lbs quarterback out of Jacksonville, FL. Pajcic made an immediate impact earning the starting quarterback spot as a sophomore in 1966. In fact, he had such a good season he was named an Honorable Mention All-American by the AP Writers. Unfortunately, Pajcic would suffer an arm injury at the most in opportune time. Also on campus with Pajcic were former FSU Hall of Fame quarterbacks Kim Hammond and Bill Cappleman. After his injury, Pajcic was never able to secure the starting quarterback position, but he was elected to the FSU Hall of Fame in 2007 for his efforts in Tallahassee.
