Florida State Seminoles basketball is losing another player to the transfer portal.

Freshman guard Jeremiah Bembry is the latest Seminoles’ hooper to enter the portal, following in the footsteps of Naheem McCloud, Caleb Mills (who committed to the Memphis Tigers) and Matthew Cleveland.

He did not play this past season due to injury.
