This week, we lost a Hollywood icon but also one of the most well-known Seminoles fans. Burt Reynolds died this week at the age of 82 and the Florida State Seminoles will honor him at tonight's game with Samford at Doak Campbell Stadium.

Reynolds is probably one of FSU's most famous running backs, even though he never made it to the NFL. He played for the Seminoles from 1954 to 1957. He was plagued by injuries but the Hollywood thing seemed to work out kind of well for him.

Check out this helmet sticker the players will wear tonight!
