Georgia State Offers Former FSU Football Wide Receiver/Running Back

The former Seminole has picked up at least one public offer since officially entering the transfer portal.

There are still two weeks until the NCAA Transfer Portal opens for the 15-day spring window but one former Seminole has already declared his intentions to explore his options elsewhere. Joshua Burrell spent the last three seasons at Florida State as a reserve wide receiver and running back while dealing with injuries.

Burrell announced his plans to enter the transfer portal back in January and he officially appeared in the database in late March. That means college programs are allowed to contact Burrell as he inches closer to earning his bachelor's degree at the conclusion of the spring semester in Tallahassee. He's already picked up at least one public offer as Georgia State joined his transfer recruitment last week.

Georgia State is entering a new era after hiring Dell McGee away from the Georgia Bulldogs to lead the program earlier this offseason. He's added multiple coaches to his staff with ties to Florida State including Dameyune Craig (offensive assistant), Jeremiah Wilson (defensive backs coach), and Manrey Saint-Amour (offensive line coach).

Burrell was limited by injuries throughout his time with the Seminoles. He lost the majority of his true freshman season due to a lower-body injury he suffered in practice. Burrell explored a move to running back prior to the beginning of the 2022 season following injuries to Ja'Khi Douglas and CJ Campbell during the preseason. He ended up appearing in nine games stats prior to undergoing season-ending surgery in December.

The South Carolina native saw action in ten contests during the 2023 campaign with most of those snaps coming on special teams. He concluded his time in garnet and gold with 21 appearances while consistently being a member of the ACC Honor Roll and a multi-year Seminole Scholar.

Burrell is expected to have two seasons of eligibility to utilize at the program that he ultimately transfers to. Though no longer on the team at Florida State, he's stuck around as an intern through the Tour of Duty and into spring practice.
