Former Lausanne quarterback Brock Glenn will start for Florida State in its home game against Clemson on Saturday after starter D.J. Uiagalelei sustained a broken finger in the Seminoles’ loss to SMU, ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported Monday.
After subpar performances across FSU’s disastrous 1-4 start to the season including a 20-12 home loss to Memphis in Week 3, Uiagalelei will reportedly be sidelined for multiple weeks.

Now, it appears the redshirt freshman will get at least a couple of games as the starter, beginning with No. 15 Clemson, Uiagalelei’s school from 2020-22. It will be his first start since FSU was crushed by Georgia 63-3 in last year’s Orange Bowl after the Seminoles were controversially left out of the College Football Playoff despite an undefeated season.
Before that game, Glenn led FSU to a 16-6 victory over Louisville in last season’s ACC Championship game.
Star quarterback Jordan Travis went down with a season-ending injury in Florida State’s penultimate regular season game last year. After a one-week trial run with current Southern Miss starter Tate Rodemaker, Glenn threw for 229 yards and rushed for a touchdown in his first career start.
