TALLAHASSEE -- Senior defensive back Calvin Brewton is no longer part of Florida State's roster, as confirmed by a school spokesperson on Thursday morning. A specific reason for his departure has not been disclosed.

Brewton's departure was first reported by the Tallahassee Democrat.

With his departure from the program, the safety position for the Seminoles is growing thin. Stanford Samuels or Hamsah Nasirildeen, along with A.J. Westbrook are the starters at the two positions. Reserve safety Cyrus Fagan was in a blue jersey on Wednesday and appeared to get further injured during 'Nole Drills to open the practice. His status for Saturday's game against Northern Illinois is uncertain. There are no other scholarship players that have logged snaps at safety this season available for Saturday's game beyond those mentioned.

Brewton began the season as the No. 2 player on the depth chart at the 'Star' position, working behind Jaiden Woodbey. He lost that spot on the depth chart soon after the opener.

He played against Virginia Tech and Samford, but did not appear against Syracuse. He has not recorded any stats this season. He worked primarily on special teams for the Seminoles.

The 6-foot, 189-pound defensive back appeared in five games in 2017, when his season was shortened by injury. He also played in nine games in 2016 and four games in 2015. He had primarily worked on special teams throughout his career in Garnet and Gold. In 20 career appearances as a Seminole, he finished with six tackles in his FSU career.

Brewton, who came to FSU from Miami (Fla.) Central, was ranked as a four-star prospect in the 2015 class by the 247Sports.com Composite. He was considered the No. 17 safety in the nation.
