Florida State football fans knew that the Seminoles needed some sort of spark this offseason after the squad went 2-10 during the 2024 season. I still cannot believe that the Seminoles did that badly last year. It feels like a nightmare that most individuals want to forget.

Head football coach Mike Norvell knew that there needed to be major changes. Complacency was no longer an option as Florida State no longer had a combined 23-4 record over the past two seasons.

To get out of this mess, the Seminoles had to acquire highly-touted recruits and transfers. I would say that the Early Signing Period was a success (can still sign more high schoolers/JUCO players in February) since Florida State had a top-20 recruiting class after the season they had.

Plus, Florida State pulled in three transfers so far in quarterback Thomas Castellanos, tight end Markeston Douglas, and linebacker Stefon Thompson. They are far from finished in the portal, though. As a result, I want to highlight ten transfers that need to focus on.
