Chris Nee of 247Sports tweeted a quote from Florida State head coach Mike Norvell, who commented on Cypress’ move. Norvell said, “This is another fantastic addition to our program. Fentrell is a great player who possesses the unique combination of length and athleticism. He has a huge upside and brings a proven track record of consistent playmaking into our defensive backfield.”

Cypress is a former three-star recruit from the Class of 2019. At the time, he was ranked as the 91st-best cornerback in the nation. But since that time, Cypress has played his way into being one of the best cornerbacks in the country.
He was named a Second Team All-ACC selection by both the conference and the Associated Press this season. Additionally, PFF named selected Cypress to their All-ACC First Team.
Cypress’ transfer means that FSU looks even better in 2023. The Seminoles currently rank first in the nation in 247Sports’ transfer portal rankings. It’s taken a while, but Norvell seems to have FSU back on the right path.
