Former Florida State cornerback Greedy Vance Jr. departed from Tallahassee in the spring of 2024. Following two seasons with the Seminoles, Vance Jr. decided to play out his final year of eligibility on the West Coast with USC.

In 2024, Vance Jr. made 11 appearances and six starts for the Trojans, totaling 29 tackles, one tackle for loss, two pass deflections, and an interception. He recorded a season-high five tackles in USC's 49-35 loss to Notre Dame on November 30. Vance Jr. pulled down the game-sealing interception in a 28-20 victory over Nebraska.

Though Vance Jr. was drafted over the weekend, he's already found a home at the professional level. Per draft analyst Tristen Kuhn, Vance Jr. is joining the Las Vegas Raiders as an undrafted free agent.

Vance Jr. began his college career at Louisville in 2020 but decided to transfer to Florida State in 2022. During his two seasons with the Seminoles, he appeared in 27 games and made five starts.

The Louisiana native totaled 34 tackles, five pass deflections, and four interceptions at FSU. He was a member of the 2023 ACC Championship team.
