Florida State football has had a history of bringing in tight ends to their offense, given how they utilize them in their scheme. However, some fans feel like they over-prioritize them.
The Seminoles had an effective tight end in Randy Pittman Jr. (when he was healthy), who had experience in Gus Malzahn's offense. However, Pittman Jr. announced that he would be entering the transfer portal, which was a bit shocking to the fan base.
However, Florida State's front office softened the blow as they got sophomore Landen Thomas to return to the Seminoles for the 2026 season after he flirted with the portal himself.
