Florida State Seminoles Land Highly-Touted Ole Miss Transfer Micah Pettus
The Florida State Seminoles have made a significant splash in the 2024 NCAA Winter Transfer Portal Window, and their latest addition has left fans and alumni buzzing with excitement. Micah Pettus, a 6’7″, 360-pound offensive tackle from Ole Miss, has officially joined the Seminoles, bolstering their lineup for the 2025 season.
Pettus’ decision to don the garnet and gold was met with enthusiasm from former FSU star and ACC Champion Everett Dawkins. Dawkins, who spent five years with the Seminoles and earned All-ACC Honors before being drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in 2013, took to Twitter to express his approval of Pettus’ addition.
“This how I like my OL extra nasty,” Dawkins wrote, clearly impressed by Pettus’ formidable size and skillset.
Pettus’ transfer to Florida State is a significant coup for the program, which has been busy rebuilding its roster through the transfer portal. The Seminoles have already added several key players, including former Boston College quarterback Thomas Castellanos, former Arizona State tight end Markeston Douglas, and former Nebraska linebacker Stefon Thompson, among others.
The addition of Pettus, however, is particularly noteworthy given his impressive physical attributes and experience playing in the Southeastern Conference (SEC). As a talented and dominant force on the offensive line, Pettus is expected to make an immediate impact for the Seminoles.
For ‘Nole fans, Pettus’ arrival is a welcome development, offering another reason to look forward to the 2025 season. With a retooled roster and a renewed sense of optimism, the Seminoles are poised to make a push for conference and national prominence.
As the college football landscape continues to evolve, one thing is clear: the Florida State Seminoles are committed to building a winning program, and the addition of Micah Pettus is a significant step in that direction.
