One former high-ranking FSU player learning why transfer portal isn't for everybody

Florida State has had nearly 40 players enter the transfer portal over the past week. Some have found homes at Power4 programs elsewhere, while others have attended smaller schools, and many have yet to find a suitable home.

That’s the case for one of the earliest entries in the transfer portal for former FSU defensive end L A Jessie Harrold.

Harrold was a late signee in the 2025 recruiting cycle, the No. 217 player and No. 22 EDGE nationally. He was an early enrollee last January and has the measurables you’re looking for in a defensive end.
