Florida State University has dismissed junior safety Conrad Hussey from the football program following a reported physical altercation with a position coach. The incident has sent shockwaves through the Seminoles fan base just weeks before the 2025 season kicks off.
According to multiple sources, the altercation occurred during a closed practice session earlier this week. While details of the exchange remain limited, insiders report that the disagreement escalated beyond verbal confrontation, prompting swift action from the coaching staff.
Head coach Mike Norvell addressed the situation in a brief statement:
“We have clear standards for how we represent Florida State football. This was a difficult decision, but one necessary to protect the culture and accountability within our program.”
Hussey, a highly regarded defensive back, played two seasons for the Seminoles, recording 40 tackles, one interception, and multiple forced turnovers. His versatility and aggressive play style made him a key contributor in the secondary, and his absence will leave a noticeable gap in the defense.
While the dismissal is a setback for Hussey’s college career, it’s possible he could enter the transfer portal in search of a fresh start. However, questions remain about how the incident will impact his standing with future programs.
This move comes as Florida State looks to bounce back from a challenging season and re-establish itself as a top contender in the ACC. With training camp underway, the focus will now shift to finding Hussey’s replacement and ensuring the team remains unified heading into the season opener.
