In a major development for Florida State University’s football program, former UCF tight end Randy Pittman has announced his commitment to the Seminoles. Pittman, who spent the last several seasons with the University of Central Florida, has made the decision to transfer to FSU, bolstering the team’s tight end position and adding depth to their offensive unit.

 

Pittman’s move is part of a growing trend of players transferring within the state, with the Seminoles benefiting from a player with significant collegiate experience. The 6-foot-5, 250-pound tight end has showcased his talents as both a blocker and a pass catcher during his time at UCF. With FSU looking to improve their overall depth and skill set on offense, Pittman’s addition is seen as a pivotal moment for the program.

 

During his time at UCF, Pittman was a reliable presence in the passing game. He recorded notable stats and contributed significantly to the team’s offensive line, helping to create key opportunities for the Knights’ running backs and quarterbacks. His ability to catch passes over the middle and create mismatches in the red zone made him a valuable target for UCF’s offense. In addition to his receiving skills, Pittman’s blocking ability will be key for FSU’s ground game, as the Seminoles aim to improve their running attack.

 

This commitment is also significant as it strengthens the connection between FSU and the talent-rich recruiting grounds of Florida. Pittman, a native of the state, is familiar with the competitive nature of college football in the Sunshine State and will bring a veteran presence to the Seminoles’ locker room. His experience in big-game situations will be crucial as FSU looks to remain competitive in the ever-challenging ACC and secure a spot in future college football playoffs.

 

The Seminoles have made strides under head coach Mike Norvell, and Pittman’s commitment marks another important step in his rebuilding project. With this transfer, Florida State continues to build a roster capable of competing with the best in the nation, adding a player with proven talent and a wealth of experience.

 

Fans of FSU will be watching closely to see how Pittman integrates into the team’s offensive system and what kind of impact he will have in the 2024 season. As the Seminoles continue to assemble a strong squad, Pittman’s decision is one that could pay immediate dividends for the program in the upcoming season.
