Non-Impact

This category is the longest list, so I figured I’d begin here. These are the players who either never played, barely played, or managed to play here and there but were mostly injured or just terrible.

  • Quashon Fuller
  • Jaleel McRae(Transfer to FAU)
  • Raymond Woodie (Transfer to California)
  • Curtis Fann (Transfer to Troy)
  • Derrick McClendon
  • Tru Thompson (Transfer Portal)
  • Kevon Glenn (Transfer to Troy)
  • Ira Henry (Transfer Portal)
  • Jay Williams (Transfer to FAMU)

That’s 43 percent of the class either off the roster or not contributing enough to impact anything. Quashon Fuller flashed a couple of times last year and 2022 will be do or die for him. The same for Derrick McClendon, but it’s telling FSU is actively looking for players at the defensive end position in the transfer portal with both of them on the roster.
