Man, let me tell you about this whole AJ Duffy thing at FSU. It’s been a wild ride, and I’ve been following it closely because, well, I kinda like to keep tabs on these college football stories, and I found myself getting way more invested in this kid’s journey than I expected.
So, picture this: a few years back, I first heard about this four-star quarterback recruit, AJ Duffy. The dude was apparently killing it at IMG Academy. Ranked pretty high nationally, I think. I remember thinking, “Okay, this guy’s got some serious potential.” Naturally, I started digging around. Found out he’s a California kid, originally. That caught my attention right there.
Then, he committed to Florida State. I thought, “Alright, this could be a game-changer for FSU.” I mean, they’ve needed a solid QB for a while. I followed his progress, watched some of his highlights, and yeah, the kid looked good. I was honestly getting pretty hyped about seeing him play in the garnet and gold.
The Tallahassee Chapter
He spent two years in Tallahassee. But, you know how college football goes. Things don’t always pan out the way you expect. I saw some rumors swirling online. People were saying he wasn’t getting the playing time he wanted. Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to believe. Then, bam! News dropped that he was entering the transfer portal in December. It was like, “Whoa, where did that come from?” Less than two weeks, he left FSU.
Then there was some talk about some team rule violations. That’s never good. I don’t know the details, and honestly, I try not to get too caught up in rumors. But it definitely made me wonder what was going on behind the scenes.
The San Diego State Move and The Second Transfer
Next thing I knew, he transferred to San Diego State. I figured, “Okay, maybe this is a fresh start for him.” A chance to prove himself, you know? But guess what? He didn’t even play a single snap in 2024! Then he entered the transfer portal again! I was like, “What’s going on with this kid?” It seemed like he just couldn’t find the right fit. Also, I found out that San Diego State is moving to the Pac-12 next season. That’s a big deal, and it made me even more surprised that he’d leave before that happened.
Now, here’s the thing: I’m not trying to judge the kid. College football is a tough business. There’s a lot of pressure, a lot of expectations. It looks like he’s still searching for the right opportunity. I genuinely hope he finds a place where he can thrive. Maybe he could make a great turn, maybe not. Who knows? It will be an interesting journey.
Anyway, that’s the story of AJ Duffy, as far as I’ve been following it. It’s a reminder that things in the world of college sports can change in an instant. It’s been a rollercoaster, that’s for sure. I just hope things work out for the guy.
