FSU football's best defensive back by a mile plans to enter transfer portal

Florida State football didn’t have many guys on defense who stood out from the pack this year. However, one guy embodied everything you wanted in a player. He played with great physicality, great instincts, and a desire to win.

That player was defensive back Ja’Bril Rawls. The redshirt sophomore defensive back announced intentions to enter the transfer portal with two years of eligibility remaining. A player whom FSU was the first to offer. A player who was a three-star out of high school without a ton of offers from some other major schools.

Rawls redshirted after appearing in three games during the 2023 season.
