Things are heating back up for Florida State in the transfer portal.
After a quiet few weeks, the Seminoles on Tuesday landed a familiar face through the portal as Omarion ‘Duke’ Cooper announced he was returning to FSU. Cooper spent last year at Colorado after playing the 2021 and ’22 seasons with the Seminoles.
Cooper announced his decision Tuesday on social media.
The former four-star recruit went back into the transfer portal late last month. As a starting cornerback with the Buffaloes in 2023, he recorded 37 tackles and broke up five passes. He recorded 30 tackles and three interceptions during his two seasons at Florida State.
After starting his career as a cornerback with Florida State, the Seminoles gave Cooper a look at safety during the spring of 2023. It is not known how he will be used in his return to the Seminoles.
Florida State also appears to be trending toward adding former Auburn linebacker Cam Riley through the transfer portal. On3’s Pete Nakos put in an RPM prediction on Tuesday for the Seminoles to land Riley, who racked up over 100 tackles during his time at Auburn.
Riley originally committed to N.C. State but backed out of that commitment in recent weeks.
