The Seminoles aren’t scheduled to face Syracuse in 2025. However, they will meet up with old friend Deuce Spann when Pittsburgh travels to Tallahassee on October 11.
Ferguson spent one season at Florida State after transferring into the program last offseason from Alabama. He was one of five players who left the Crimson Tide for the Seminoles. Only two members of that group remain; redshirt senior running back Roydell Williams and redshirt junior safety Earl Little Jr.

The Georgia native suffered an injury during fall camp that limited him through the year. He showed toughness by appearing in 11 games and making seven starts at right guard. However, Ferguson clearly struggled at less than 100% and was one of the lowest-graded offensive linemen in the FBS.
In his three years at Alabama, Ferguson played in 12 games and made one start. He won an SEC Championship with the program in 2023.
The 6-foot-4, 328-pound offensive lineman will be competing for a starting role with the Orange.
