EARLIER REPORT
Florida State took another step toward rebuilding its defensive front for 2025 on Saturday by landing Tennessee defensive line transfer Jayson Jenkins.
The pass-rusher’s NIL agents confirmed the signing to ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
Jenkins, who played defensive end for three years at Tennessee, committed to the Seminoles after visiting this week. He becomes the fourth defensive end transfer to commit to Florida State this cycle, joining James Williams of Nebraska, Deante McCray of Western Kentucky and Deamontae Diggs of Coastal Carolina.
Defensive end is a major area of need for Florida State following the departures of starting ends Patrick Payton and Marvin Jones Jr. to the transfer portal.
