During the most recent transfer window, 17 Florida State players registered with the Transfer Portal. The departures included two freshmen from the program’s 2023 signing class: wide receiver Goldie Lawrence and linebacker Dylan Brown-Turner.
Brown-Turner announced on Wednesday evening that he was transferring to UTEP to complete his final four seasons of eligibility. He’s been researching his options for more than a month. Lawrence had committed to UCF just days after entering the portal. 
Brown-Turner redshirted his only season in Tallahassee, spending the majority of his time on the Seminoles’ scout team. He played three snaps in the home opener against Southern Miss.
The Texas native will relocate closer to home to join first-year head coach Scotty Walden and the Miners. UTEP finished 3-9 last season. Brown-Turner had planned to play college basketball in the Lonestar State, but Florida State’s late interest swayed him away from North Texas.
As a senior in high school, he made 151 tackles, five tackles for loss, three sacks, and one interception to help South Oak Cliff win its second straight championship. Brown-Turner reported receiving offers from Boston College, Georgia Tech, and Louisville.
In 2024, Florida State will return redshirt senior DJ Lundy, redshirt sophomore Omar Graham Jr., sophomore Blake Nichelson, sophomore Justin Cryer, redshirt freshman DeMarco Ward, true freshman Jayden Parrish, and true freshman Timir Hickman-Collins as linebackers.
Outside of Brown-Turner, the Seminoles saw quarterback Tate Rodemaker (Southern Miss), quarterback AJ Duffy (San Diego State), Rodney Hill, running back CJ Campbell (FAU), wide receiver Goldie Lawrence (UCF), tight end Markeston Douglas (Arizona State), tight end Preston Daniel (Buffalo), offensive lineman Thomas Shrader (Appalachian State), offensive lineman Bless Harris (TCU), offensive lineman Daughtry Richardson (FAU), offensive lineman Qae’shon Sapp (ECU), defensive
