Florida State Seminoles Quarterback Tate Rodemaker to Skip Orange Bowl, Enter Transfer Portal
In a surprising turn of events, the Florida State Seminoles will be without their planned starting quarterback for the upcoming Orange Bowl matchup against the Georgia Bulldogs. According to a report from Matt Zenitz of 247Sports, Tate Rodemaker has decided to enter the transfer portal, effectively ruling himself out of the Orange Bowl.
Rodemaker had taken over the starting quarterback position after Jordan Travis suffered a season-ending injury. He led the Seminoles to victories over Northern Alabama and the Florida Gators before suffering a head injury late in the win over UF. True freshman Brock Glenn stepped in for Rodemaker and guided the Seminoles to a win over the Louisville Cardinals and a conference championship in the ACC title game. Rodemaker’s final season stats include 510 passing yards and five touchdowns.
With Rodemaker’s decision to enter the transfer portal, the Seminoles find themselves with just one scholarship quarterback on the roster. With Travis out for the season and both AJ Duffy and Tate Rodemaker transferring away from the team, the Seminoles will have limited options at the quarterback position for the Orange Bowl.
Florida State fans will now have to wait and see who will step in as the starting quarterback for the Orange Bowl. For the latest updates on the Florida State football team roster, fans are encouraged to stay tuned to Tomahawk Nation for all the latest news and developments.
