FSU Football: Two More Noles Hit The Portal As 13 Hours Remain.
A talented but injured wide receiver and a veteran reserve DB hit the portal. I fear at least one more Nole could enter but who will it be as the clock runs down for entry.

I can’t lie to you folks this one came as a big surprise when I first heard it was a possibility. That said it’s not too hard to understand. Mycah initially came to FSU in order to be used more than at Oregon and better. Norvell and Atkins brought in four transfers that transfer class, some high schoolers along with more in the 23’ class along with Winston Wright Jr. returning from injury.
Johnny Wilson, Jakhi Douglas, Deuce Spann, Kentron Portier all return for another season along with two new stud TE’s that will be getting tons of snaps in the slot. With him being injured and possibly missing the season a move could be just what he needs for his football career and Youtube/ Twitch channels. I disagree and believe he would have been best served sticking it out but it’s not my decision to make.

This move is less surprising but follows the spring theme of guys running out of eligibility while being passed by younger players or ones of their age they were once ahead of on the depth chart. We all had very high hopes for the Tallahassee local and very athletic DB that just haven’t came to fruition.
We wish him the best of luck and his decision likely guarentees this staff grabbing a safety out of the portal or by whatever means necessary as the numbers dwindle. While this single move may not seem like much from the outset it is a continuation of the DB group exodus. Safety in particular is getting quite thin.
Will Another DB Hit The Portal?
As I just mentioned the depth behind Akeem Dent and Shyheim Brown is dwindling fast. We have now lost three legitimate contributers in Sidney Williams, Omarrion Cooper, and Travis Jay. We honestly can not afford to lose any more DBs and there is one name I have been hearing since the portal opened.
I can’t give a name out of respect for the program, the player, and my sources but fingers crossed we make it to Monday morning with no news of any more portal entries and it’s no matter. We now stand at nine transfers in this session and twenty two overall plus attrition of several players to the NFL. We will keep you updated and have a portal entry period, and possible additions article incoming.
