Report: Florida State DL D'Nas White plans to enter NCAA transfer portal

Florida State defensive lineman D’Nas White plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal, according to Warchant’s Matt LaSerre. He played in one game this past season as a true freshman and will have four years of eligibility remaining.

White recorded one tackle in his lone appearance of the 2024 season against Charleston Southern. He’ll now look to find a new home after spending only one year in Tallahassee.

White played high school football at Jay M. Robinson (NC), where he was a three-star recruit. He ranked as the No. 938 overall player and No. 88 defensive lineman according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Florida State will have lost 29 players and four defensive linemen through the transfer portal this offseason when White officially enters. The Seminoles have also added 16 players and rank No. 32 overall in On3’s Transfer Portal Team Rankings.

FSU finished 2-10 this past season just one year after going undefeated in the regular season and winning the ACC Championship. As it attempts to turn things around from that dismal record, it will now be down a young player on the defensive line with potential in White.

The spring transfer portal opened Wednesday, April 16 and will close 10 days later on Friday, April 25. As of this writing, more than 430 FBS scholarship players have entered the transfer portal this month and 3,600 players have entered in the 2024-25 portal.

More than 2,800 FBS scholarship players entered their names into the NCAA’s transfer database during the 2023-24 school year. Removing those who withdrew or went pro, the final total sat at 2,707 transfers. That means roughly 25% of all FBS scholarship players hit free agency in one year.

In data gathered over the first two years with transfer windows, the NCAA found most athletes enter the portal within the first four weeks of the portal opening. The study showed that 73% of men’s and women’s basketball undergraduate athletes entered during the first four weeks. That increased to 82% for men and 86% for women in 2024.
