FSU football: 3 perfect Christmas gifts for Nole fans
By Kelvin Hunt
Transfer Portal Success
We’ve talked about recruiting spots that will likely go to prep players if the Noles can sign them. That leaves about 3-4 spots for players in, or that will be in the transfer portal.

The Noles need a wide receiver, defensive end, offensive tackle, and I could see them taking a running back if he’s too talented to pass up and wants to join the movement.
I think FSU has to land at least one wide receiver, defensive end, and offensive tackle from the portal. If they double up on a position, I’d expect it to be either defensive end or offensive tackle.
I spoke about the importance of taking talent from the portal as opposed to the school ranks.
The players from the portal give the Noles a better shot at being competitive in 2021, which allows younger players to continue to develop.
Fabian Lovett is a prime example of the Noles taking a transfer last year, with him contributing immediately.
The same for Jarrian Jones and Meiko Dotson, although Dotson was injured a lot, and Jones didn’t quite live up to expectations. A successful haul from the transfer portal will shorten the turnaround for Mike Norvell and staff, and I think we’re all invested in FSU football winning more future games.
