Which players on Nebraska's roster should FSU explore pursuing in the transfer portal?
Florida State is moving towards announcing the official hire of Nebraska's Tony White as its next defensive coordinator. White has spent the last two years building some of the top defenses in the country in Lincoln. He's a proven developer of talent and a confident personality that has earned the respect of those playing under him.
Veteran Jimari Butler would also make sense. He's spent the last half-decade at Nebraska but announced his plans to transfer shortly after the news broke about White and Knighton leaving.With Florida State switching to a 3-3-5 scheme, the defense will be playing three linebackers in most situations. The Seminoles are clearly in need of more additions to the room to build around redshirt sophomore Omar Graham Jr., sophomore Blake Nichelson, and sophomore Justin Cryer.
New FSU defensive line coach Terrance Knighton is credited with landing the 6-foot-5, 245-pound linebacker out of high school and he spent both of his seasons at Nebraska in White's defense. Since the moves, he's hit the portal and the ties to Tallahassee could be enticing. Umanmielen has appeared in 23 games, with one start, and totaled 35 tackles, eight tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, and one pass deflection.
