Yet another familiar name is coming to Tallahassee.
FSU pursued former UCF Knights defensive back transfer Davonte Brown last offseason, but Brown chose the Miami Hurricanes to play with his brother, former FSU target and fellow defensive back, Damari Brown.
After entering the portal, once again, following one season in Coral Gables, the elder Brown has announced his decision to transfer to Florida State. At 6’2 185 pounds, there’s a thought he’ll play safety in Tallahassee. He’ll be mentored by FSU defensive backs coach Patrick Surtain, his former high school head coach.
Brown was a bona fide starting cornerback at UCF for his final two seasons in Orlando, making him a popular portal target the first time he entered. Last season for the Hurricanes, he was part of an uneven defensive back unit and totaled 10 tackles (eight solo) in 11 games of backup duty. According to Pro Football Focus, his best attribute this past season was tackling.
We’ll see if Davonte’s addition to the Tribe has any impact on his extremely talented younger brother when the next portal cycle hits.

Firefighters were able to quickly extinguish a fire in southwest Miami-Dade on Tuesday, authorities said.
It was 7:46 a.m. when Miami-Dade Fire Rescue (MDFR) said a dozen units responded to a kitchen fire near the 15300 block of SW 106th Terrace at Hammock Trails development, according to the fire department and the Red Cross.
Crews found heavy smoke and flames coming from the kitchen of an apartment, MDFR said.
One person was assessed at the scene and did not need to be taken to a hospital, according to the fire department. Four people total were impacted, and were being assisted by the Red Cross, the organization said.
“Firefighters quickly initiated a fire attack and placed the fire under control. Crews remained on scene to monitor and extinguish hot spots, while ventilation was established to clear the smoke,” MDFR said.
The exact cause of the blaze is under investigation, but MDFR Chief of Staff/PIO Erika Benitez offered advice for preventing a kitchen fire.
“Safety is the best recipe to protect yourself and others from fire,” she said. “If you experience a burn emergency, call 911, immediately. Remember to cool down the burned area by running cool water on top of the area. Remove your rings or any tight items. Never use butter, toothpaste or ice on the burn.”
MDFR also shared the following kitchen fire safety tips:
