Breaking down Florida State’s transfer portal additions and strategy

Following his second season at the helm of the Florida State football program, Mike Norvell continues to overhaul a roster that was in even worse shape than most of us realized. The transfer portal has changed recruiting forever, and perhaps no program has embraced portal recruiting more than the Seminoles this offseason.

As of this writing, FSU currently has the top transfer class for this cycle per 247. Nine transfer players have enrolled for the spring 2022 semester:

OT Bless Harris (Lamar)- two years of eligibility remaining

OC Kayden Lyles (Wisconsin Badgers)- one year of eligibility remaining

WR Mycah Pittman (Oregon Ducks)- two years of eligibility remaining

WR Johnny Wilson (Arizona State Sun Devils)- three years of eligibility remaining

CB Greedy Vance (Louisville Cardinals)- three years of eligibility remaining

WR Deuce Spann (Illinois Fighting Illini)- four years of eligibility remaining

LB Tatum Bethune (UCF Knights)- two years of eligibility remaining

DE Jared Verse (Albany)- three years of eligibility remaining

Let’s take a deeper dive into FSU’s strategy in bringing in the transfer class above (trust me, there will be several more names added to the transfer class before September rolls around).
