Florida State is among the schools in contact with the running back transfer from Utah State

Posted on by Amelia Pressman

Florida State has already landed ten transfers through the portal since the start of December, but the Seminoles are not slowing down in their quest to improve the roster.

Head coach Mike Norvell and his staff could look to strengthen the backfield. According to On3’s Pete Nakos, Florida State is among the teams that have made contact with Utah State running back transfer Rahsul Faison. Utah, UCF, Iowa State, Cincinnati, Cal, Kansas State and Kentucky have also reported.

Faison has spent the last two seasons with the Aggies. He is coming off a career year in 2024, rushing 198 times for 1,109 yards and eight touchdowns while catching 22 passes for 99 yards. Faison had five games with more than 100 rushing yards, including a season-high 20 carries for 191 yards and a touchdown in a 55-10 win over Hawaii on Nov. 16. For his performance that fall, he was named second-team All-Mountain West.

During his first season at Utah State University, Faison rushed 118 times for 736 yards and five touchdowns. In total, he played 25 games, made 13 starts and totaled 316 carries for 1,845 yards and 13 touchdowns. Faison also caught 33 passes for 151 yards.

The Pennsylvania native signed with Marshall as a two-star prospect in 2020. He ultimately spent this season at the junior college level with Lackawanna College and was with the Thundering Herid in 2020. After failing to appear in a game with either program, he elected to return to the JUCO level with Snow College.

In 2022, Faison ran 88 times for 355 yards and six touchdowns before transferring to Utah State.

The 5-foot-11, 200-pound running back has at least one season left and possibly more due to the new JUCO ruling. He could bolster a backfield that lacked a consistent home run threat last season.

Florida State has six scholarship running backs eligible to return in 2025; Redshirt senior Roydell Williams, redshirt senior Caziah Holmes, redshirt junior Jaylin Lucas, redshirt sophomore Samuel Singleton Jr., sophomore Kam Davis and redshirt freshman Micahi Danzy.

The Seminoles signed four-star Ousmane Kromah during the early signing period.
