One transfer portal player who excited FSU fans will no longer visit FSU, no big deal

Florida State fans are wondering how well the coaching staff will do in the transfer portal. They have already lined up a couple of visitors and had one lined up from a star running back in the ACC, NC State’s Hollywood Smothers.

The news excited FSU fans because Smothers is a dynamic back who rushed for nearly 1,000 yards for the NC State Wolfpack in 2025, while battling injuries for a few games.

He returned from an injury to rush for 84 yards on 21 carries late in the season against NC State. A player like Smothers teaming up with Ousmane Kromah and Sam Singleton would have given FSU a three-headed monster.
