Malik McClain enters transfer portal

The transfer portal giveth and it taketh.

Wednesday afternoon, it was announced that Florida State wide receiver Malik McClain entered the transfer portal:

McClain played in all 13 FSU games this season, catching 17 passes for 206 yards (12.1 YPC) and 3 TD.

Although he’s a talented player and it’s frustrating to lose him, the Seminoles are currently over the allotted 85 scholarship threshold, and the receiver room is stacked, especially with a healthy Winston Wright, and 5-star signee Hykeem Williams.
