The transfer portal giveth and the transfer portal taketh— and sometimes it just never comes to fruition.
The Florida State Seminoles football team has been plagued by the portal this year with over 30+
departures from last year’s team. But a stroke of good news today for FSU as defensive tackle Kevin Wynn announced he would not follow through on his portal plans and instead stick with the Seminoles.
Wynn was Florida State’s top recruit for the 2025 class. He was ranked the number nine overall defensive tackle. The freshman appeared in four games this past season and preserved his redshirt while dealing with injury. Wynn logged one tackle and a pass breakup on 40 snaps.
Wynn’s FSU bio:
2025 (Freshman): Played four games during redshirt season…had one tackle and one pass breakup…Stanford: first career pass breakup…Wake Forest: first career tackle…made Florida State debut against Miami and also played vs. Pitt.
