Florida State football hit rock bottom in 2024, losing 33 players to the transfer portal, but saw some improvements in 2025, although they only managed to win three more games. However, they had some embarrassing losses, and most thought Mike Norvell wouldn’t survive the season.
He’ll return, and FSU has added some new coaches, a new General Manager, and an Executive Director of Player Acquisitions to its back-office staff. Nevertheless, FSU has nearly 30 players announcing intentions to enter the transfer portal before it opens on January 2nd. There could be more, but we’ve already explained how the majority of those players have been non-contributors or dead weight on the roster.
