TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - On Tuesday, Florida State big man Michael Ojo took a break from basketball to speak with Godby High School students on the dangers of texting and driving.
Giving back is something the 7'1'' center, who the Cougars learned wears a size 21 shoe, said he loves to do, adding it's nice to use his platform as a Florida State Seminole in a positive way.
"Some of them have seen me before on campus, maybe on TV, and they know who I am because they come by the games," he said. "The other kids, they're just like, oh wow, he's so tall! I think it's a good thing, using who we are and where we are. I think that gives them a little more trust, a little more attention so that they want to pay attention to what you have to say to them."
If you want to check out Ojo and the rest of the Seminoles, the host an exhibition game against Southeastern October 27th. The regular season tips off Saturday, November 12th against Charleston Southern.
