Five star linebacker Tony Steward told the Florida Times Union that he's gone

gone back and forth between FSU and Clemson for months but pretty much decided on Clemson a few days ago.

He came to the final decision Tuesday night after a long talk with his family, including his mother, Demetria, a diehard Seminole fan. Steward told the Florida Times Union convincing his mother might have been the toughest challenge of them all.

"I'm still a Seminole, but I'll support him," Demetria said laughing. "I will not put on Clemson orange. I'll be on that Seminole sideline when they play. I already told him that."
