Florida State Secures Transfer of Houston CB Jeremiah Wilson

Florida State has secured Houston cornerback Jeremiah Wilson as its first spring transfer portal addition, addressing a key need in its defensive backfield. Wilson, a Kissimmee native, played 12 games with Houston last season, recording four interceptions, four pass breakups, and a pick-six while earning an 86.7 PFF grade—significantly higher than FSU's existing cornerbacks. Previously recruited by current FSU defensive coordinator Tony White at Syracuse, Wilson's familiarity with White's defensive scheme is expected to ease his transition and elevate his immediate impact. Wilson expressed that Florida State has always been his dream school and cited his recent campus visit as pivotal in his decision. He is anticipated to compete for a starting role and provide valuable experience to a position group that needed depth, with expectations that he could become a starter by mid-season. His addition is seen as a statement move for the Seminoles as they look to rebound from a challenging season.
