Florida State University wide receiver Jalen Brown was arrested for possession of a controlled substance, leading to his dismissal from the team and entry into the transfer portal. Brown, a former 4-star recruit from Miami, initially signed with LSU but transferred to FSU in 2024. During his one season with the Seminoles, he made 9 appearances and caught eight passes for 75 yards.
Despite pushing for a spot in FSU’s receiver rotation, Brown’s arrest and subsequent dismissal have led him to seek opportunities elsewhere. He is the second FSU receiver to enter the transfer portal this week, with a total of seven receivers leaving the team since the end of the 2024 season.
In response to the departures, FSU has added transfers Squirrel White from Tennessee and Duce Robinson from USC, along with signing recruits Jayvan Boggs and Teriq Mallory. Coach Mike Norvell continues to make adjustments to the roster in preparation for the upcoming season.
The incident involving Brown highlights the challenges faced by collegiate athletes both on and off the field. While FSU has not commented on the specifics of Brown’s dismissal, it underscores the importance of upholding team and university standards. As the football program undergoes changes and transitions, the focus remains on developing a competitive and cohesive team for the future.
