Breaking news: the Florida State Seminole has commit a 5-star defensive players from BYU due to….
Florida State released its initial 2025 roster on Wednesday. Only a day later, another player with past experience at the college level was added to the fold.
Earlier this month, former Southeastern University tight end Greyson Labiad announced he was continuing his career in Tallahassee. Labiad officially appeared on the roster on Thursday, meaning he’s enrolled and able to go through offseason workouts and the Tour of Duty with the Seminoles.
Labiad is listed as a redshirt junior after not playing during the 2024 season. He stands at 6-foot-3, 245-pounds and will be wearing No. 89. That number was previously donned by former FSU tight end Jerrale Powers for the last three seasons.

Labiad initially spent a post-graduate season at Palmetto Prep Academy in 2021 before suiting up at Southeastern in 2022-23. Instead of the NCAA, The Fire are a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). In two years with the program, Labiad caught nine passes for 76 yards and returned a kickoff for 15 yards in 15 appearances.
The Florida native played out his prep career at Foundation Academy. During his final two seasons with the program, Labiad caught 45 passes for 477 yards and four touchdowns. He competed in the Cure All-Star Football Game in 2020.
Florida State has three tight ends eligible to return to the roster in 2025; sophomore Landen Thomas, sophomore Amaree Williams, and redshirt freshman Luke Douglas.
The Seminoles signed four-star Chase Loftin during the Early Signing Period. The program added former Arizona State tight end Markeston Douglas and former UCF tight end Randy Pittman through the po

The 6-1, 195-pound wideout was a three-year starter for Penn State. In his final year in State College, he proved to be the Nittany Lions’ best receiver, catching 46 passes for 720 yards. He also brought in four touchdowns this season. While those numbers won’t just jump out at you, that could partially be due to the offense he was playing in. The Penn State offense features a run-heavy style. In a more pass-oriented offense in Oxford, it should be safe to imagine those numbers improve next season.
However, one of the biggest additions Wallace brings to Ole Miss is experience. With Penn State having reached the College Football Playoff semifinals this season, he now brings playoff experience to the Rebel receiving room. In this type of situation, big game experience simply can’t be overstated.
