Florida State Football Dismisses Jalen Brown, Plans Transfer

Florida State wide receiver Jalen Brown has been dismissed from the football program after his arrest on a third-degree felony charge of possession of a controlled substance. Brown, who had limited playing time in the 2024 season, was released from jail on bond and announced plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal shortly after his dismissal. His departure marks the third wide receiver to leave FSU in a single week, following the exits of Hykeem Williams and Jordan Scott, further impacting the team's depth at the position. The school confirmed Brown's dismissal but did not initially comment on the specifics. Brown, a former four-star recruit who transferred from LSU, concludes his time at FSU with eight catches for 75 yards.
