Major College Football Program Loses 19 Players to Transfer Portal

The college football transfer portal has been buzzing since it opened on Dec. 9, with over 2,000 players looking for a fresh start.

As teams work to piece together their rosters for the 2025 season, the portal has become a crucial part of the offseason.

For the Florida State Seminoles, they’ve seen 19 of their own players enter the portal, per On3. Perhaps that’s a good thing for the Noles to get new faces on the field, considering they finished the 2024 season 2-10, their lowest win total since 1974.

Some of the biggest names that Florida State has lost so far include quarterback Luke Kromenhoek, defensive end Patrick Payton, defensive end Marvin Jones Jr., linebacker Shawn Murphy, and wide receiver Destyn Hill.

Head coach Mike Norvell, however, has added seven transfers, and he’s not stopping there

On Dec. 16, Florida State and Norvell agreed to a restructured one-year contract. Notably, Norvell approached the school’s administration with an offer to give back a portion of his salary—a $4.5 million contribution—to support the program’s efforts in NIL and other things.

“I presented this to our administration in an effort to boost the support of our student-athletes while recognizing that the results and expectations need to be upheld to the highest level,” Norvell said in a press release.
