Douglas is returning back to Tallahassee, Fla., previously spending four years at Florida State before transferring to Arizona State in December of 2023.
The redshirt junior tight end has had much more success as a Seminole than a Sun Devil, recording just one catch for 3 yards in Arizona State’s astonishing playoff season. In his two active years at Florida State, Douglas was much more utilized.
He hauled in 25 passes for 329 yards and four touchdowns during his first stint with the Seminoles. He caught 14 passes for 190 yards and two touchdowns in 2022, and returned in 2023 with 11 catches for 136 yards and two scores.
