Trickett is unique to the psyche of FSU fans in the early 2010s. Most remember him for his fourth-quarter touchdown pass to Rashad Greene to tie the game against No. 1 Oklahoma in 2011. During his time in Tallahassee (2010-12), he played in 17 games for the Seminoles, going 66-106 for 947 yards, seven touchdowns, and four interceptions.
However, he transferred to West Virginia in 2013.
In Morgantown, Trickett played in 19 games, going 404 of 652 for 4,890 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 17 interceptions. He finished his collegiate career with 5,837 yards, 32 touchdowns, and 21 picks.
Throughout his coaching career, Clint Trickett served as the QBs coach for East Mississippi (2015-2015), an assistant for Florida Atlantic (2017-2020), an assistant for Marshall (during the 2022 season when he called the game in their victory at Notre Dame), and a tight ends/passing game coordinator for Georgia Southern (2024).
As mentioned before, Trickett will be joining Charles Kelly at Jacksonville State. Kelly did not coach at Florida State while Clint was a quarterback in Tallahassee. However, Clint’s father, Rick, was in Tallahassee throughout the entirety of Kelly’s tenure. The two should know each other quite well.
