The “DJU” era in college football is officially over.

Florida State quarterback DJ Uiagalelei announced Monday night that he is declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft.

“First and foremost, I want to give all the praise and honor to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,” Uiagalelei wrote. “Every day I thank God for the opportunity and blessing to play football.

“To my family and fiancé: without your unconditional love and support, I would not be the man I am today. I love you all!”

“I am also incredibly grateful to my teammates. The bonds we built and the work we did together – pushing each other to be the best versions of ourselves – are memories I will carry with me for a lifetime. The journey.” It hasn’t always been easy, but the ups, the downs and everything in between have shaped me and created relationships that will last forever.

“I would like to thank my coaches for believing in me, challenging me and investing in my career.” Nevertheless, I am pleased to announce that I have declared for the 2025 NFL Draft. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this incredible journey so far.

In 2024, Uiagalelei’s only season at Florida State was cut short due to a hand injury. He completed 84 of 156 passes in five starts for 1,065 yards, threw four touchdowns and six interceptions, and recorded a mediocre QBR of 37.3.

The Seminoles have already received a commitment from Boston College quarterback transfer Thomas Castellanos to fill the quarterback void.

In 2023 with Oregon State, he threw for 2,638 yards with 21 touchdowns and just seven picks.

In five college seasons, he threw for 10,508 yards with 82 touchdowns and 30 interceptions.
