The winter transfer portal window closed on Saturday, with an additional departure from Florida State revealed by a report on Sunday that defensive end DD Holmes had decided to test the waters:
Holmes becomes the fourth defensive end to put his name in the portal of the winter cycle along with Patrick Payton, Byron Turner Jr., and Marvin Jones Jr. The Seminoles overhauled the front seven defensive coaching staff this off-season, moving DE coach John Papuchis to the linebacker spot and giving Terrance Knighton full reign over the defensive front.
