Florida State Secures Transfer Safety Jarvis Boatwright Jr. from USC

Former USC safety Jarvis Boatwright Jr. has transferred to Florida State University, returning to his home state after redshirting his freshman year at USC and not seeing any game action due to injury. Boatwright, a former three-star recruit from Clearwater High School, was heavily recruited by FSU in high school and brings notable high school accomplishments, including over 100 tackles his senior year. He will join a competitive safety room at FSU and has four years of eligibility remaining, offering depth and potential to the Seminoles' secondary. Boatwright's transfer is part of a broader roster reshaping at Florida State, which has recently added several other players through the transfer portal. Coaches and analysts expect Boatwright’s size and athleticism to help him vie for playing time under safeties coach Evan Cooper. His move comes as Florida State continues to strengthen its defensive backfield in preparation for the upcoming season.
