Former Florida State defensive end Marcus Cushnie became the last player to leave the roster and enter the transfer portal late last week. It was the second time Cushnie had entered his career portal after moving to Tallahassee from Alabama A&M over the summer.

Just days after announcing his decision to seek out his third different program, Cushnie has already received two offers. According to his social networks, it was donated by Massachusetts and Akron.

The coaching staff who will remain at UMass following the dismissal of former head coach Walt Bell got a glimpse of Cushnie during the 2021 season. His best performance in garnet and gold was against Massachusetts, where he had two tackles and 1.5 sacks in a 59-3 win.

The Florida native also has ties to Akron. The Zips recently hired former Florida State assistant graduate Tre Bell to coach their cornerback. Bell was the Akron employee who offered Cushnie on Monday evening. Another former Seminoles defensive end, Curtis Fann Jr, is also a member of the program.

Cushnie has one season of college eligibility remaining and he aims to play in the NFL. He will look for his next school to give him the opportunity to have fun, which is where he found his success at Alabama A&M. In 26 career games at the FCS level, Cushnie recorded 16 sacks and 23.3 tackles for losses.

Florida State is in dire need of a defensive end after missing Marvin Jones Jr, Nyjalik Kelly and Tire West during the early signing period. The coaching staff will look to the transfer portal for help like they did a season ago. Last year, the Seminoles brought in Cushnie, Jermaine Johnson, and Keir Thomas through the portal.
