Seven of Florida State’s nine outgoing players in the NCAA Transfer Portal spring window have found new homes.
On Sunday evening, former FSU wide receiver Jalen Brown announced he was transferring to Arkansas. Brown was dismissed from the program last month following an arrest. He’s actually the second Seminole to land with the Razorbacks along with quarterback Trever Jackson.
In his only season in Tallahassee, Brown appeared in nine games and made two starts. He caught eight passes for 75 yards and returned a kickoff for 19 yards. Brown was set back by injuries but his effort was noticeably lacking in a few of his appearances last fall.
Brown was a top-100 prospect in the 2023 class and a coveted transfer following his lone year at LSU. However, he never found his footing at Florida State.
Head coach Mike Norvell credited Brown for his progress during the spring. However, now he’s back in the SEC and might develop elsewhere. Brown will have three seasons of eligibilitty remaining.
Florida State hit the portal to replace Brown, junior Hykeem Williams, and junior Jordan Scott. The Seminoles missed out on at least their top three options before landing former North Carolina wide receiver Gavin Blackwell. Still, the three oldest players at the position all joined the program within the last few months, and the other nine are underclassmen.
