Florida State head football coach Mike Norvell has been known to acquire talented transfers via the portal, but the 2024 season was a reset in terms of perception as the Seminoles managed to have a 2-10 record.
Coach Norvell had individuals believe that the Seminoles only recruited transfers instead of homegrown talent. As we learned with Dabo Swinney and Clemson's recent struggles, a program cannot rely strictly on high schoolers. There has to be a mixture of transfers and recruits.
The Seminoles added forty-four new transfers and recruits to the roster this past offseason. Quarterback Thomas Castellanos headlines the list of transfers, and he gave the Crimson Tide everything that they could handle in Week 1.
