Shawn Powell's time at Florida State may be nearing its end but he's got a place right next to the clock in the football team's locker room waiting for him.
As a consensus All-American, Powell -- FSU's star punter -- will be given the honor of becoming the 28th player in program history to have a large cut-out photo of himself placed near the ceiling of the locker room inside Doak Campbell Stadium.
Powell's photo will be next in line after Rodney Hudson and joins a Seminoles' consensus All-American list that also includes Fred Biletnikoff, Greg Allen, Ron Sellers, Jamie Dukes, Ron Simmons, Deion Sanders, LeRoy Butler, Charlie Ward, Marvin Jones, Derrick Brooks, Terrell Buckley, Corey Sawyer, Clifton Abraham, Reinard Wilson, Clay Shiver, Sam Cowart, Peter Boulware, Andre Wadsworth, Sebastian Janikowski, Jason Whitaker, Peter Warrick, Tay Cody, Corey Simon, Snoop Minnis, Alex Barron and Jamal Reynolds.

Note: Three wide receivers are named because of a tie for the second spot. Both Broyles and Woods made two first teams and one second team each. At defensive back, only three are named instead of four. Two players were unanimous first team while Mathieu was named first team on four. Six other players were named to only one first team as defensive backs.
