When FSU football fans look at the roster, they see players leaving in droves to enter the transfer portal for the second year in a row. There were players who needed to leave after the 2024 season, and it was easier to understand. Mike Norvell preached about getting and keeping players who “played with an edge.”
It was thought that the players who returned to FSU after 2024 wanted to be at FSU. They wanted to compete, play with an edge, and help turn the program around. That looked to be the case when FSU came out of the gates to upset Alabama in the season opener.
