Newest transfers that could start on the Noles' defense during the 2024 season

S DAVONTE BROWN

Honestly, I was a bit more skeptical with the acquisition of former Miami defensive back Davonte Brown. Florida State pursued him during last offseason's transfer portal window. However, Brown chose to take his talents to the Miami Hurricanes.

As we know, those decisions to transfer to the Hurricanes do not go that well as he struggled to find consistency in 2023.

It seemed like the move to the cornerback position was a bit much for him. However, the Seminoles have moved him to the safety position and have seemed to have seen potential in him. Florida State is having to replace the likes of veteran defensive back Akeem Dent who was regarded as the "quarterback of the defense".

Dent was always the individual who communicated and got the defense in the right position to make the best play. The Seminoles need to find effective options to pair alongside Shyheim Brown. One option could be rising sophomore Conrad Hussey. However, Brown is making it a very interesting battle as we enter the summer.
