Florida State landed a pair of defensive players from the transfer portal on Friday, getting commitments from former North Carolina linebacker Caleb LaVallee and former Coastal Carolina and Youngstown State defensive lineman Deamontae Diggs.

Lavalle appeared in 15 games (one start) across his two seasons with the Tar Heels. He had 14 tackles in 2024, including a tackle for loss.

Diggs appeared in all 13 games for Costal Carolina this past season, including seven starts. He had five sacks among his 34 tackles, and he recorded a career-best seven tackles against Marshall.

The Seminoles finished 2-10 this past season and 1-7 in the Atlantic Coast Conference to finish alone in last place. They ended the season with a 31-11 loss to Florida while losing five fumbles. It was the program’s first season with double-digit losses since 1974.
