Most players enter the transfer portal looking for playing time, a chance to win a title and be developed for the NFL. Jaylin Lucas fits all the criteria, although with the added incentive of playing college football with his brother, Florida State receiver Ja’Khi Douglas.
“They had a great season last season,” Lucas said. “I just felt like it was the best fit for me. I also wanted to play here with my brother. Just what coach (Mike) Norvell got going on here, coach YAC (David Johnson), it’s a great, tremendous running back room. Florida State is the place to be. I just love this place."
Lucas has a reason to love FSU, a school he visited for a camp in June 2021 before ultimately choosing Indiana. While listed at 5-foot-9 (and that may be generous) and 175 pounds, he racked up more than 2,000 yards in two years at Indiana — 1,163 kickoff return yards, 546 rushing yards, 329 receiving yards and 14 on punt returns. His three kickoff return touchdowns are tied for an Indiana career record, and Lucas was a first-team All-American returner as a freshman in 2022 as well as a third-team All-Big Ten pick as a sophomore.
