Florida State's men's basketball team has lost two key players, Martin Somerville and Shah Muhammad, to the NCAA transfer portal. The departures come as the Seminoles look to rebuild their roster under head coach Luke Loucks.
Why it matters
Losing experienced players like Somerville and Muhammad is a significant setback for the Seminoles, who are trying to bounce back from a disappointing season. Their exits will force Loucks to rely more on younger, less proven talent as he works to restore FSU as a contender in the ACC.
The details
Somerville, a junior forward, and Muhammad, a sophomore guard, both announced their intentions to enter the transfer portal and seek opportunities at other programs. Their departures leave the Seminoles with several open scholarships to fill as they look to reshape their roster through recruiting.
- On March 18, 2026, Florida State head coach Luke Loucks spoke to the media about the team's roster changes.
- Somerville and Muhammad entered the NCAA transfer portal in late March 2026, shortly after the end of the Seminoles' season.
