Brother of FSU football star planning to enter transfer portal

Florida State's roster will undergo significant changes over the next few weeks. The Seminoles have seen nine more players depart from the program over the last seven days.

Decisions can always change, it's happened before with one of the veterans who moved on from FSU to enter the portal, redshirt junior linebacker Omar Graham Jr. The fourth-year defender tested the waters last year and then returned to Tallahassee.

Brother Of Former FSU Star Jermaine Johnson Entering Portal

According to his social media, redshirt freshman running back Jeremiah Johnson is expected to transfer from Florida State after two years with the program.

Johnson saw his only game action with the Seminoles in 2025, appearing in the blowout victories against East Texas A&M and Kent. He totaled ten rushes for 54 yards, including a career-high 16-yard carry in the win over the Golden Flashes.

In his first year with the program, Johnson worked with the scout team while redshirting.

Johnson joined the Seminoles as a walk-on out of Gadsden County High School. He's the younger brother of former Florida State star Jermaine Johnson II, who made a big impact in garnet and gold despite playing just one season with the program. The older Johnson has since moved on to the NFL, drafted by the New York Jets in the first round back in 2022.

The 5-foot-11, 204-pound running back is expected to have three seasons of eligibility remaining.

Florida State's top three running backs from last season - redshirt senior Gavin Sawchuk, redshirt junior Samuel Singleton Jr., and sophomore Ousmane Kromah - are all eligible to return in 2026.
