Head coach Mike Norvell continues to bolster his roster through the NCAA Transfer Portal.
The Florida State Seminoles have been on the move in the NCAA Transfer Portal this offseason as they try to fill unaddressed holes in their roster from a year ago. After adding 16 transfers and bulking up both offensive and defensive lines, the ‘Noles currently hold the No. 5 transfer class in the country according to 247Sports.com.
On3.com currently has the Seminoles listed at No. 13 in the country with three 4-stars commitments and 13 3-stars to round out #Tribe25.
FSU has been no stranger to landing successful players through the portal and has put multiple transfers in the NFL through evaluation and scheme with players like Jared Verse, Braden Fiske, Jarrian Jones, and Jermaine Johnson, alongside multiple other high-end prospects, head coach Mike Norvell and Co. have made a name for themselves as the transfer kings in this new era of college football.

While the ‘Noles missed on more than a few transfers this past season, there is a promising class coming in to bolster a roster that performed less than stellar a season ago. Alongside a coaching overhaul that saw changes to both offensive and defensive coordinators, the changes have brought in some promising faces.
Boston College quarterback transfer Thomas Castellanos, who is now on the roster, has given Florida State every bit of trouble every time he faced off against the Seminoles, and with the additions of offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn and offensive line coach Herb Hand, the trenches surrounding him could potentially be squared away. Vanderbilt’s Gunnar Hansen (6’5’’, 330), UCF’s Adrian Medley (6’5”, 305), Wake Forest’s Luke Petitbon (6’2″, 295), and Ole Miss’ Micah Pettus (6’7”, 350) are all big-bodied transfers up front who can contribute immediately in 2025.
Florida State lacked outside threats at wide receiver as well and brought on productive wide receivers USC’s Duce Robinson (6’6”, 220), Southwest Mississippi CC’s Jordan Scott (6’7”, 215), and Nebraska’s Jordan White (5’10” 167) to help bridge the gap and bring the team back into championship competition.
The next transfer window will open this spring on April 16, and FSU fans should expect another haul of talented players and new faces to come.
