Florida State has actually made another addition to its transfer portal class. The Seminoles are generating knowledgeable skill to fill spaces at positions of requirement throughout the lineup.
On Saturday, Nebraska linebacker transfer Stefon Thompson revealed he was continuing his college profession at Florida State. Thompson remained in Tallahassee for a see to meet head coach Mike Norvell and protective organizer Tony White, who coached him in 2024 while he dressed for the Cornhuskers.
Thompson appeared in 11 video games, making one start, and amounted to 27 deals with, one fumble healing, and 2 pass deflections this fall. In spite of playing simply 175 snaps on defense, he graded out as the third-best gamer (76.9) on the system, per PFF. He would've been the premier linebacker on FSU's lineup by a broad margin.

The North Carolina native started his profession at Syracuse, signing with the program as a three-star possibility in 2020. Beyond 2022, when he suffered a season-ending injury, Thompson was a constant starter throughout his 4 years with the Orange. He amounted to a career-best 79 takes on, 8 takes on for loss, 6 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles in 2021.
In overall, Thompson appeared in 36 video games, with 21 starts, and taped 172 takes on, 21 takes on for loss, 10.5 sacks, and 4 required fumbles at Syracuse.
Remarkably enough, when Thompson got in the website in 2015, he took a check out to Florida State prior to signing with Nebraska. The Seminoles were open to pursuing him when again and they land a knowledgeable linebacker who has actually currently invested a year in Tony White's 3-3-5 protective plan.
Florida State has 6 linebackers qualified to return in 2025; redshirt junior Omar Graham Jr., redshirt junior Shawn Murphy, junior Blake Nichelson, junior Justin Cryer, redshirt freshman Jayden Parrish, and redshirt freshman Timir Hickman-Collins.
FSU signed three-star Ethan Pritchard throughout the Early Signing Period.
Florida State has actually landed 3 dedications out of the website; Thompson, previous Boston College quarterback Thomas Castellanos, and previous Arizona State tight end Markeston Douglas.
