FSU Scholarship Update: Travis Transfers to the Seminoles

Florida State added some much-needed depth earlier this week when Louisville quarterback Jordan Travis elected to transfer to FSU. With National Signing Day a little more than a month away, FSU’s scholarship situation is becoming more clear.

We broke the situation down below with commitments added — even those unsigned. Florida State is sure to have more departures, but as it sits, the Seminoles are currently at 83 scholarships, assuming everyone returns.

The “conceivable departures” categories are players who have shown some interest in leaving. Quarterback Deondre Francois recently told the Orlando Sentinel that he was contemplating leaving for the NFL Draft. Tight end Alexander Marshall has put his name in the transfer portal, as did defensive end Xavier Peters and wide receiver D’Marcus Adams, but the latter two players took to social media to say they were not leaving.

There were conflicting reports as to whether or not linebacker Adonis Thomas would return for a redshirt senior season. Brian Burns, a junior defensive end this past season, recently declared for the NFL Draft and is not listed among the scholarship players.
