There’s no guarantee in college football—especially in the new era of gate transfers and NIL (name, image, likeness) deals.
Florida State defensive lineman Joshua Farmer, who officially entered the transfer gate Thursday and was removed from the Seminoles’ roster, announced a reversal of plans and will now remain in Tallahassee.
“I know the past 48 hours have been very difficult,” Farmer wrote in a statement on Twitter. “After talking with my family and loved ones, I realize Florida State is my home and always will be. I believe in this team and the family we have. I want to be a part of helping the program get to where I know we can go and give everything I have to make it happen.”
