BREAKING: FSU Football beefs up offensive line with talented Vanderbilt transfer Josh Raymond

Florida State continues to finalize its roster ahead of the 2025 season.

On Thursday, Vanderbilt redshirt freshman offensive lineman transfer Joshua Raymond announced he was continuing his college career in Tallahassee. Raymond is coming off a two-day visit to Florida State's campus where he learned more about the program and met with head coach Mike Norvell along with position coach Herb Hand.

Raymond signed with Vanderbilt as a three-star prospect in the 2024 class, choosing the Commodores over Stanford, Kansas, Liberty, USF, FIU, and Marshall, among others. He participated in the Under Armour All-America game following his senior season.

The Florida native didn't see the field during his lone season with the Commodores. With that being said, he has a year of experience working in an SEC program and is an intriguing prospect with four seasons of eligibility remaining.

Raymond stands at 6-foot-4, 298-pounds. He has the capability to play tackle or along the interior so it'll be interesting to see where he fits into Hand's equation.

Interestingly enough, Raymond was a teammate of current FSU offensive lineman Gunnar Hansen at Vanderbilt. Hansen was the program's starting left tackle for the past few seasons before transferring to the Seminoles in the winter.

Florida State is up to 19 offensive linemen on the roster. However, 12 of those players are underclassmen, including both of the transfers that the Seminoles have acquired at the position.
