For the Florida State Seminoles, the rebuild is still a work in progress for head coach Mike Norvell. Recruiting has been trending upwards, while the transfer portal continues to be an asset.

On Tuesday, Greedy Vance, a former Louisville defensive back, announced he will be transferring to Florida State. Vance played in 17 games during his two seasons with the Cardinals, recording 37 tackles.

Being a member of the 2020 class, Vance was still classified as a freshman during the 2021 season thanks to COVID-19 rules. He will have three years of eligibility remaining the Tallahassee, hoping to make an instant impact in the secondary for Florida State.

Vance was a three-star prospect on the On3 Consensus coming out of high school. Being a native of New Orleans, LA, Vance was a top 25 prospect within the state. Florida State was not one of the programs to offer the defensive back during his original recruitment.

Deion Sanders fires back at Florida State Seminoles fan

Deion Sanders shook up the college football world by getting Travis Hunter – the No. 1 recruit in the nation – to join him at Jackson State. Additionally, he ruffled some feathers at his alma mater of Florida State — Hunter flipped from the Seminoles to join Sanders.

While Sanders was beloved as a member of the Seminoles, Florida State faithful didn’t take the news of him flipping their highly-touted recruit from their program. In the days afterwards, irrational Seminoles fans were seen burning jerseys and disparaging the formerly-beloved Sanders.

Earlier this week, Sanders joined The Rich Eisen Show to discuss the fallout from bringing Hunter to Jackson State.

“He never belonged to them. I never took him, he never belonged to them,” responded Sanders, when asked about what it meant to take Hunter from Florida State. “And I saw the burning of the jerseys — I saw all that foolishness. I laughed my butt off, first of all.”

Evidently, Sanders found it hilarious that Florida State fans would react the way they did. While he’ll always have love for the program he played for, it’s tough to blame the Jackson State coach for getting a laugh out of the fallout.
