The news keeps coming for Florida State football, and at least this one is of the positive variety. The Noles added a commitment from the transfer portal for All-American redshirt freshman CJ Richard late Saturday night:
Illinois State DB CJ Richard (@richard05___) has committed to Florida State, his rep @monnier_oscar of @jordansportsgrp tells @On3sports.
The Freshman All-American posted 36 tackles, 1.5 TFLs and 2 INTs in 2025. https://t.co/wMrfFrdlE6 pic.twitter.com/aNJpZFLE78— Pete Nakos (@PeteNakos) January 11, 2026FSU has had a lot of moving parts in its secondary with Earl Little Jr, Edwin Joseph, and Shamar Arnoux entering the transfer portal.
