Florida State football has been on the negative side of the headlines over the past two years. The bleeding hasn't stopped, as Mandrell and Darryll Desir have announced that they would be entering the transfer portal.
This is very bad news, as the Desir Twins were one of the few bright spots in what was a miserable stretch to end the 2025 season. There was a time when the fan base thought defensive coordinator Tony White was crazy because he mentioned the brothers as players who could contribute as freshmen.
However, they exceeded expectations (especially Mandrell) for what individuals thought that they could be as players.
