The FSU Seminoles are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 5-7 season, and are once again expected to be very active in the transfer portal. There is just one portal this offseason, set to open on Jan. 2 and last until Jan. 16, with windows allowed after that for teams that are in the College Football Playoff or who hire a new head coach.
They had 32 players exit the program last offseason and enter the transfer portal, including 16 players on offense, 16 on defense. They have already added 32 high school signees this offseason and will look to supplement that group with some experienced transfers who will contend for starting spots and key roles on the depth chart.
With them expected to add numerous players through the transfer portal, they need to open up space on the roster for the newcomers. While players graduating or entering the NFL draft will create some space, so will the outgoing transfers, especially if they no longer fit what FSU’s coaching staff wants at their position.
With the portal set to officially open in January, here is an ongoing tracker for all of the Seminoles’ outgoing transfers:
