Former Florida State punter Shawn Powell has officially signed an undrafted free agent deal with the Buffalo Bills.

FSU's star special teamer tweeted after the NFL Draft Saturday that he had would be joining the Bills organization but it wasn't officially until today when Buffalo announced the signing of Powell and nine other free agents.

"He's a big guy that's got a strong leg," Bills National Scout Darrell Moody said in a press release. "He's still developing his consistency, but he has the size and the leg strength to be a good punter. He just needs to sharpen his mechanics because he has all the tools to be a real good punter."

Powell's signing means that Buffalo has four Seminoles on its roster -- the most of any team in the NFL. 

Longsnapper Garrison Sanborn was already on the team before the Bills drafted Nigel Bradham and Zebrie Sanders in the fifth and sixth rounds, respectively, Saturday.

The NCAA basketball tournament always seems to produce more than its fair share of stories and Florida State's involvement in The Big Dance on the men's side certainly fills that bill.  During this first week of the tournament, we thought it could be interesting to take a brief insider's look at FSU's appearances since 1987...

Associate AD Rob Wilson shares his memories from the Florida State Seminoles NCAA Tournament runs.

My first association with the NCAA and FSU came in 1988 when Pat Kennedy's second Seminole team was selected for the Tournament field for the first time in seven years and the fifth time in school history.  As background, Florida State played in the 1968 NCAA's losing in the first round to East Tennessee State.  Our trip in the 1972 NCAA Tournament should be familiar to everyone as we just had a reunion of that National Championship runner-up team that accomplished so much.  We lost in the first round of the NCAA in 1978 to Kentucky and were eliminated by the Wildcats again, but this time in the second round.

Dawn the Pat Kennedy coaching era.  We must remember these were different times and our staff at that time might have been known for making sure we took full advantage of all the activities an away venue might have to offer.  So when FSU was announced with Los Angeles as the site, the Moore Center was up for grabs.

The first round matchup against Iowa looked problematic on paper and proved to be just that for our wet-behind-the-ears Seminoles in vaunted Pauley Pavilion.  B.J. Armstong, who would go on to a successful NBA career with Michael Jordan and the Bulls, was a relative nobody at point guard for the Hawkeyes who looked at one point like they were going to run us out of the gym.
