The former Seminole has picked up at least one public offer since officially entering the transfer portal.

here are still two weeks until the NCAA Transfer Portal opens for the 15-day spring window but one former Seminole has already declared his intentions to explore his options elsewhere. Joshua Burrell spent the last three seasons at Florida State as a reserve wide receiver and running back while dealing with injuries

Burrell announced his plans to enter the transfer portal back in January and he officially appeared in the database in late March. That means college programs are allowed to contact Burrell as he inches closer to earning his bachelor’s degree at the conclusion of the spring semester in Tallahassee. He’s already picked up at least one public offer as Georgia State joined his transfer recruitment last week.

Georgia State is entering a new era after hiring Dell McGee away from the Georgia Bulldogs to lead the program earlier this offseason. He’s added multiple coaches to his staff with ties to Florida State including Dameyune Craig (offensive assistant), Jeremiah Wilson (defensive backs coach), and Manrey Saint-Amour (offensive line coach).

Burrell was limited by injuries throughout his time with the Seminoles. He lost the majority of his true freshman season due to a lower-body injury he suffered in practice. Burrell explored a move to running back prior to the beginning of the 2022 season following injuries to Ja’Khi Douglas and CJ Campbell during the preseason. He ended up appearing in nine games stats prior to undergoing season-ending surgery in December.

The South Carolina native saw action in ten contests during the 2023 campaign with most of those snaps coming on special teams. He concluded his time in garnet and gold with 21 appearances while consistently being a member of the ACC Honor Roll and a multi-year Seminole Scholar.

Burrell is expected to have two seasons of eligibility to utilize at the program that he ultimately transfers to. Though no longer on the team at Florida State, he’s stuck around as an intern through the Tour of Duty and into spring practice.

Georgia Bulldogs: Rams Provide Significant Update On Stetson Bennett’s NFL Future

Former Georgia Bulldogs QB Stetson Bennet will always be a legend in Athens, but his rookie season in the NFL didn’t go as planned last year and there has been speculation about his professional future.

Bennett was selected at No. 128 overall in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft by the Los Angeles Rams, but his rookie campaign  took a turn when he was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list just three days after the team’s first game. He was on the list for an undisclosed reason, not relating to an injury on the field, and remained out for the entirety of his rookie year.

Last season, Rams coach Sean McVay did not reveal why Stetson Bennett was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list, but did note that the situation was “bigger than football.”

regard,” McVay said when asked about Bennett last year in an article for CBS Sports. “I really hope that you can please respect my wishes and regards to keeping that in-house. I understand you have a job to do, but there are certain things that are a little bigger and a little more important than the particulars and the specifics. We want to keep it in-house, and that’s where I want to leave it please.”

Bennett’s absence resulted in the team promoting Brett Rypien from the practice squad to the 53-man roster after Week 1 to back up Stafford. The Rams then released Rypien on Nov. 7, and a day later they signed Carson Wentz to serve as the No. 2 quarterback.

Rams general manager Les Snead said the plan is to have Bennett participate in the team’s offseason workouts (per the Los Angeles Times), a positive update for the 26-year-old. Snead added that the QB is currently working out in Dallas.

While it’s clear the Rams are still giving the former Georgia Bulldogs QB a shot, it’s unclear how seriously they are considering Stetson Bennett for a roster spot in 2024.

So far this offseason, Snead and head coach Sean McVay had not given a definite answer on Bennett’s status with the team. In February, McVay said they would contact Bennett “at the appropriate time.”

“You figure out where are you at and is this something that we feel like is best for him and for our football team to bring him back into this ecosystem?” McVay said last month (via USA Today). “Those will be conversations that we will have. I think once we have a better idea of what we’ll do with that, then that’ll give clarity.”

The former Georgia Bulldogs QB led UGA to back-to-back national titles in 2021 and 2022 and holds the school record for the most passing yards in a single season with 4,127. It will be interesting to see if Stetson Bennett can find a place in the NFL.
