WHY I WEAR MY NUMBER
I wear No. 51 at Florida State because I think it is a cool-looking number. I’ve never worn it at any other level of basketball, but when I was given my choice of numbers, 51 came to my mind as a tough-looking number on the back of a uniform.
Sola Adebisi is the fourth player in school history to wear No. 51. The most recent Seminole to wear the number was Adam Waleskowski who played for the Seminoles from 2002-2005. Waleskowski helped lead the Seminoles to a 77-76 win over Duke on January 6, 2002 for the first win over a No. 1 ranked team in the history of the Florida State program.
WHAT'S IN A NAME
My full name is Olusola Adeyemi Adebisi. My parents liked the name Olusola; it means God has blessed me.
MY HOMETOWN
The city of Milton, Ga. is laidback with lots of things to do outdoors. It is about 30 miles north of Atlanta, and has a small-town feel with a big-town location.
