FSU football transfer OL set to visit multiple schools

The Florida State Seminole offensive line will look drastically different heading into the fall of 2026. FSU will have to replace every starter up front with additions from the NCAA Transfer Portal and rely on the depth built in the trenches over the past few recruiting cycles.

With the transfer window now open, players across the country are seeking better opportunities to further their careers. As of now, four FSU offensive linemen have declared their intentions to transfer during the two-week window that opened on January 2.

Lucas Simmons Expected to Visit Multiple Schools This Cycle

Per 247Sports' Chris Hummer, offensive tackle Lucas Simmons is expected to visit multiple programs across the country this transfer cycle. The 6'8'', 308-pound offensive tackle is reportedly set to visit Mississippi State, Georgia Tech, Wisconsin, Georgia, and James Madison over the next two weeks.

Simmons was an international prospect from Stockholm, Sweden, and appeared in 24 games, mostly in a reserve role, during his two seasons in Tallahassee, Florida. He earned a PFF grade of 79 overall in 2025 and has played 81 snaps in garnet and gold.

The Seminoles will have to again lean heavily on the transfer market to fill out key offensive positions. FSU brought in the No. 14 recruiting class in the country in 2026, with three-star linemen Nikau Hepi, Jakobe Green, Steven Moore, Michael Ionata, and Steven Pickard, but generally, the big men up front need time to develop at the FBS level.

Although Simmons' production at Florida State wasn't what you'd expect from a veteran and seasoned player like one they will likely seek in the portal, his size and ability offer a significant upside, lending some credence to the caliber of programs he is reportedly planning to visit.
