Florida State has used the transfer portal to their advantage this offseason. One of Mike Norvell’s most important addition came last week when defensive tackle Fabien Lovett announced he’d be leaving Mississippi State for Florida State.

In an exclusive interview with Noles247 On The Bench Podcast, Lovett opens up about his decision to leave Mississippi State after seeing Mike Leach's controversial tweet.

“Me and my dad didn’t feel right about what was tweeted out,” Lovett told Noles247. “We just didn’t feel comfortable playing under somebody that would do that.”



“The only person that I talked to was our defensive line coach. Nobody else contacted me. He was the only person to contact me from Mississippi State.”
