Checking in on Florida State transfer departures: Treshaun Ward leads way so far
While the Florida State football team brought in a slew of impressive transfers this offseason, the Seminoles also lost 19 players to the transfer portal.
Through the first month of the 2023 season, 15 of those players have seen time on the field with their new programs. A few have even made significant impacts.
With FSU off this weekend, let’s take a look at how the most recent former Seminoles have done on the field so far.
Former Florida State starting running back Treshaun Ward has had the best season so far. As a Kansas State Wildcat, he currently has 168 yards and one touchdown on 37 carries. He also has 7 receptions for 72 yards and a touchdown.
North Carolina linebacker Amari Gainer turned a lot of heads early in the year when he had two sacks and four quarterback hurries against South Carolina in Week One. Since then, he has only had three tackles and two pass breakups.
WR Mycah Pittman, who spent one year at Florida State before transferring to Utah, has three receptions for 20 yards going into Friday night’s game against Oregon State. He also has five punt returns for 33 yards.
Offensive lineman Zane Herring has been key for USF in the first month. He sat out the Alabama game, but besides that has played 194 snaps for the Bulls.
Offensive tackle Lloyd Willis has played 133 snaps for the Marshall Thundering Herd.
Former FSU linebacker Stephen Dix Jr. also made his way to Marshall this offseason and has had seven tackles in three games.
Wide receiver Malik McClain has made some plays at Penn State. So far, he has six receptions for 21 yards and a touchdown. That lone score came against West Virginia in Week One.
