FSU Football: The #1 Portal Class in the Nation |Deuce Cypress and Fiske Commit | Two All ACC 'Noles Decisions Loom | NFL or the Battle's End?
I break down our two remaining Transfer Portal targets and if we expect more. When will FSU's "Big 3" make their decisions? Will Oklahoma be their final game?
Remaining Tribe23 Transfer Portal Targets For #1 Class
Fentrell “Deuce” Cypress | #1 CB | UVA 🛫
We have been reporting on Fentrell Cypress II since he entered the portal. It appears some real interest is developing here. The UVA Cornerback is considered by many to be the number one portal player available overall and is no doubt the best corner. I tend to agree as he is indeed a plug and play shutdown corner. He immediately locks down one side of field for whatever team he goes with.
Caziah Holmes | RB | signed August
Jaheim Bell | #1 Tight-end
Darrell Jackson | Miami’s starting Noseguard
Kyle Morlock | #3 Tight-end
Casey Roddick | Guard | 2000+ snaps* conmitment shaky Colorado coming hard.
Jeremiah Byers | #1 Offensive Tackle
Keiondre Jones Jr. | SEC Guard
Braden Fiske | #1 D-Tackle
Fentrell CypressII | #4 OA
Update* Mike Norvell and FSU add #4 Overall player and #1 Corner Deuce Cypress | Norvell and staff are pushing Ohio State and Colorado here as of late for the South Carolina native’s signature. We will definitely keep our eyes on this one as he could change that defensive back room immediately. The closer we get to the eighteenth the more nervous I get. This is a championship level roster Norvell and company are building. Multiple reports including Brendan Sonnone on the X’s and Noles Live podcast confirmed when Deuce was in Tallahassee for an official visit it was his only one that week despite earlier plans and tons of interested parties.

Renegade Report drops a crystal trophy prediction with a confidence of 60% that I have raised to 70% today as Mike Norvell is building an unprecedented transfer class landing the elite of the elite proven players and I believe CypressII is next.
John Campbell Jr. | LT - Starter | Miami🛫
This one is a bit diffeent than a few weeks ago when he initially flew straight to Tallahasse for a visit. Following what appeared to be a great visit and momentum builder I thought for sure he would be a ‘Nole. Then #1 OT Jeemiah Byers, SEC IOL Keiondre Jones, and 2000+ Snap giant Casey Roddick have all transfered in not to mention 6-8 30o pound Lucas Simmons. Complicating things even worse is several all confernce potential guys have hit the portal the last week including two of Floridas best offensive lineman. I will keep you up to date as this story unfolds.

Post Bowl Game Portal Entries
The list of prospects hitting the portal has spiked here the last day or so as teams have began playing their bowl games. As the week goes on, better and better teams will be playing their bowl games including two playoff teams whose season will come to end. Be on the look as I expect the staff to possibly find another 5-10 transfer portal options to add to the board. Teams will have another oppurtunity to host another wave of official visits and conduct in-homes from January 13th - 18th. I could definitely see a guy like UF’s Ethan White or certainly any defensive lineman that deserve an offer.

The Big Three Set To Decide
Fabien Lovett | Defensive Tackle
Fabien is the least likely to return in my opinion due to several factors including his own beautiful family and babygirl at home in Mississippi. It’s just such a shame injuries held him back causing him to miss half the season and likely not improving his draft stock. It’s hard to see him going any earlier than late in the second, or towards the more likely third or fourth.
That said if The Battles End can help make Fabien’s life and relationship within his family easier to maintain he could enjoy financial freedom from stress playing a final championship season and rocketing to where he belongs, at the top!
Jammie Robinson | Strong Safety
Jammie came to the ‘Noles twinhears ago to simply be a consistent piece in the secondary. He wasnt a world beater at South Carolina or some big draft prospect. Luckily for FSU fans Norvell could care less and here we sit with an absolutely Nole Blooded 1st Team All-ACC string safety. Will Jammie return for possible ACC title and playoff? We will find out soon as the Cheez-It bowl will be played tommorrow and the final numbers and projections will be on the table. We are all hoping for one more year!
Jared Verse | Edge | Defensive End
Jared burst on the scene coming straight to FSU from FCS Albany and lit the ACC on fire winning multiple defender of the week honors and an All-ACC selection. Verse is recieving NFL grades anywhere from earlt first to falling into the second. One more year in Tallahassee could transform the lass rusher into a bonafide top five pick. The Battle’s End is no doubt working on a special deal for this natural edge talent.
