We're going to see how the athlete ended up playing ball in Tallahassee after switching from university to university ... and check out how his past comments about a rival institution garnered criticism within the sports world.

Tommy first sparked interest from recruiters while playing quarterback for Ware County High School in his hometown of Waycross, Georgia.

Tommy led the Ware County High School Gators to a 10-2 record in his junior year, clinching them a spot in the state's AAAAA Playoffs.

His prowess on the field attracted the attention of several institutions while he prepared to head to college, including Florida State and the University of Central Florida ... remember those names for later.

Tommy served as the Eagles' starting quarterback at the beginning of the 2023 season, although he got bumped from the starting position the following season.

He announced his intention to transfer shortly after being losing his starting position, and he began playing for Florida State in August 2025.

Tommy found himself in hot water prior to the start of the 2025 season for comments he made about the University of Alabama's football squad -- in other words, trash talk.

The quarterback told On3 Sports he didn't see the Crimson Tide "stopping me" and said the team didn't have former coach Nick Saban to "save them."

Footage from the postgame shin dig began circulating not long after the clock hit triple zeros in the Horned Frogs' 48-14 win over the Tar Heels. In a video posted by the team's social media, the squad starts belting out their fight song, "Riff Ram Bah Zoo" ... and it's obvious the game meant a little more to them.

The moment that really caught the internet's attention came on a live stream courtesy of TCU's Bud Clark, who said, "Belichick gotta call his girlfriend."
