Looks like Landen Thomas had second thoughts.
Less than two weeks after announcing he would enter the transfer portal, the sophomore has reportedly decided to remain with Florida State football.
Thomas’ return gives the Seminoles a young but experienced option at tight end following the loss of Randy Pittman.

Thomas appeared in all 12 games this season but had a reduced role, finishing with three catches for 35 yards and two touchdowns. Over his two-year career at FSU, he has 17 receptions for 208 yards and three scores.
A former four-star prospect from Moultrie, Georgia, Thomas was ranked as the No. 1 tight end in the country coming out of high school.
FSU loses punter Mac Chiumento
FSU will be without its starting punter, Mac Chiumento, who announced on Instagram that he plans to enter the transfer portal.
“Thank you, Tallahassee,” Chiumento wrote. “So many wonderful people, so many wonderful memories, until next time.”
Chiumento started every game for the Seminoles this season as a first-year starter as a punter and as holder, replacing longtime All-American Alex Mastromanno.

The redshirt junior punted 28 times, averaging 44.0 yards per attempt with one touchback. He placed 13 punts inside the 20-yard line and had six punts of 50 or more yards. FSU named him its special teams MVP.
