Florida State University's football team has seen a change in its offensive line as redshirt senior Bless Harris has announced his decision to enter the transfer portal. Harris, who has one year of eligibility remaining, expressed his gratitude towards Florida State in a tweet, signaling his departure from the program.

Harris joined Florida State after playing two seasons at Lamar University. However, his time with the Seminoles has been plagued by injuries. In the team's victory against Duquesne in 2022, Harris suffered an injury that sidelined him for the remainder of the season. Unfortunately, he once again faced setbacks due to injuries in 2023, preventing him from achieving his full potential and establishing consistency within the team.

During his time at Lamar, Harris showcased his skills as an offensive lineman. In the spring 2021 season, he started five games at left tackle before succumbing to an injury. As a redshirt freshman in the fall of 2019, he played in 10 games and earned two starts. His contributions helped the Cardinal offense rank second in the Southland Conference with an average of 172.3 rushing yards per game.

Before his collegiate career, Harris attended St. Augustine High School, where he earned recognition for his exceptional performance on the gridiron. He received first-team all-district and all-metro honors during his senior year and led the Purple Knights to the quarterfinals of the Division I state playoffs. As a member of the Class of 2019, Harris was ranked as the 143rd overall prospect from Louisiana.

Despite facing adversity with injuries, Harris remained committed to his academic pursuits. He successfully earned a bachelor's degree in general studies from Lamar University.

Florida State's loss of Harris, an experienced offensive lineman, will require the team to regroup and adjust its strategies for the upcoming season. The transfer portal provides Harris with an opportunity to explore other options and continue his football journey elsewhere.

As of now, it remains unknown where Harris will transfer to or the specific reasons behind his decision. Florida State fans will bid farewell to a player who has put forth efforts to contribute to the team on the field, albeit hampered by injuries.
