Florida State football quarterback DJ Uiagalelei has declined his invitation to speak at the 2024 ACC Kickoff media event.

His reason?

He is opting out of the preseason media event to give his teammates who won the ACC title last year a chance to represent the school.

The transfer quarterback has previously attended the ACC Kickoff event twice, representing Clemson during his time as the Tigers single caller.

Uiagalelei announced his decision to decline the invite on his X (formally Twitter) account Tuesday afternoon.

After a rocky three years at Clemson, Uiagalelei transferred to Oregon State, becoming one of the top quarterback's in the country.

The star transfer has garnered seismic attention since joining the Seminoles, and he steps aside to give his teammates who were part of the 2023 ACC Championship team a chance to speak at the ACC Kickoff event.

It has yet to be announced which members of the Seminoles program will attend the ACC media event in Charlotte, North Carolina, but an announcement is likely to come soon. The ACC Kickoff event will start on Monday, July 22, with FSU speaking on the opening day of the event.
