FSU football's head coach Mike Norvell is not surprised by players entering the NCAA transfer portal as the transfer window coincides with the final week of spring practice for Florida State. Among the players planning to enter the portal this week are quarterback Trever Jackson, offensive lineman Jaylen Early, and wide receiver Jordan Scott. Norvell expressed support for his players' decisions, emphasizing the importance of real conversations as they navigate potential transfers.
Norvell acknowledged the ongoing roster evaluation, with the Seminoles having signed 16 transfers in the 2025 class, including notable additions like quarterback Tommy Castellanos and wide receiver Duce Robinson. The coach remains open to enhancing the team through the portal if it aligns with improving competition and team dynamics. As the team prepares for its final scrimmage, the return of key wide receivers like Lawayne McCoy and Jalen Brown, alongside the gradual recovery of injured players like Squirrell White and Robinson, provides depth and optimism for the upcoming season.
