Notes: FSU prepped for departures, open up to additions in last

Florida State getting a little a late start to spring practice paired with an imperfect college football calendar has actually left Mike Norvell with an intriguing situation to manage this week.The 10-day post-spring transfer website window begins on Wednesday. Nevertheless, FSU still has two more spring practices on Thursday and Saturday(a scrimmage )before spring camp wraps.That develops a fascinating time balance for Norvell,

who stays extremely focused on finishing spring strong while likewise having discussions with players who could/should be thinking about a departure from the program in this last portal window before the 2025 season. “I would say there’s not a whole lot of surprises that take place, but there’s a lot

of genuine discussions,”Norvell said after Tuesday’s practice when resolving the transfer website and which players on his roster could enter.”Eventually, there’s work to be done. Absolutely, I know there are some guys that are entering the portal and I’ll support them in their journey, where they’re going and what that’ll be. I’m ecstatic about the work we have in front people these next 2 practices, completing with a scrimmage.”Since when Norvell spoke Tuesday night, three Seminoles announced their intent to enter the portal when it opens on Wednesday in walk-on quarterback Trever

Jackson, veteran offensive lineman Jaylen Early and JUCO transfer Jordan Scott, who arrived on campus this January.By the Osceola’s count in our football roster tracker, that puts FSU at 101 total players. With the House ruling anticipated to introduce profits sharing in college sports and set up a hard 105-player lineup count in FBS football, that might leave FSU a few spots to include players as well in this post-spring window.Obviously, it’ll be harder after spring for players to join the program and be able to make an impact this fall. But Norvell certainly seems available to the idea if the best positional fit(s)appear in the website in the next few days. “If there are guys that open doors to opportunities, we’ll see what that all looks like and continue to work every day …”Norvell stated.”It’s something we’ll constantly be examining. If there’s an opportunity to make your team much better, if

there’s an opportunity where you might have a position that might be enhanced with a competition. Everything needs to fit. All of it needs to be right.”I’m fired up about the position fights that we have, I’m ecstatic about how they’re developing, but it’s something that yes, we get a really common sense of where we are with a summertime in front of us and fall camp. If we have a feel that we can

go get better and it’s the best circumstance then we will.”The very first team-specific comment Norvell made after Tuesday’s practice in his press conference was appreciation of the offense, particularly the passing game.” Offense has probably one of its much better days. We had a big emphasis on the death game

… “Norvell stated.”I thought the quarterbacks did a really good task through the majority of the practice, put the ball in good locations. It’s good to see a couple receivers continue to rise and be able to go make plays. Like what I’m seeing from a lot of our more youthful receivers.” Maybe a part of this is that it seems like FSU’s receiver space is getting healthier as spring nears its conclusion this week. Norvell stated that Lawayne McCoy and Jalen Brown were back in action during Tuesday’s practice after missing time with injuries, while USC transfer Duce Robinson was

likewise out there” moving some today, too.””Certainly excellent to see those guys back in action, “Norvell said.Coordinator quote book: Malzahn, Hand, Papuchis
