Florida State quarterback Tate Rodemaker told ESPN on Monday that he is putting his name in the transfer portal.

Rodemaker joined the Seminoles as a three-star recruit from Georgia in the 2020 class and served as a redshirt junior this season. He was typically Jordan Travis’ backup, but he appeared in nine games this season and started against Florida when Travis was hurt.

He threw for 134 yards and no touchdowns in the win over the Gators and finished the season with 510 yards and five touchdowns with no interceptions. But he suffered an injury of his own against Florida and was held out of the ACC championship game against Louisville.

He would have been cleared to play in the Capital One Orange Bowl against Georgia but is opting out of the game to transfer.

The Seminoles still don’t have Travis back, but they will have freshman Brock Glenn, who threw for 55 yards in the win against Louisville in the conference championship game.

Travis is moving on after the season as well, leaving the staff with a hole on the depth chart at quarterback. Coach Mike Norvell has been pursuing Cameron Ward and DJ Uiagalelei in the transfer portal, but he has not yet gotten a commitment from either transfer quarterback.
