The Florida State Seminoles sent multiple players into the NFL during this year's draft class, including cornerback Azareye'h Thomas (pick No. 73, New York Jets) and defensive tackle Joshua Farmer (pick No. 137, New England Patriots). The 'Noles also saw All-American placekicker Ryan Fitzgerald land with the Carolina Panthers as an undrafted free agent and quarterback DJ Uiagalelei touch down in Los Angeles with the Chargers.
The latest of FSU's haul into the next level is defensive back Fentrell Cypress II, who will reportedly end up with the Washington Commanders, per The Draft Network's Ryan Fowler.
Commanders are expected to sign Florida State DB Fentrell Cypress as a UDFA, per source.

Cypress transferred from Virginia to FSU ahead of the 2023 season. He's appeared in 42 games over his collegiate career, totaling 125 tackles, 27 passes defended, four tackles for loss, two fumble recoveries, and one interception.
The Rock Hill, South Carolina native posted impressive numbers at Florida State’s Pro Day, clocking a 4.43-second 40-yard dash, recording a 38-inch vertical jump, and a 10-foot-3 broad jump. He also ran a 6.84-second three-cone drill, ranking above average for the cornerback position.
An All-ACC honoree, he suffered a season-ending injury in 2024 that limited him to nine games, but the Commanders appear to be confident in his health.
The Commanders drafted Ole Miss cornerback Trey Amos with the No. 61 pick in the second round, who is considered an 'elite corner' by Pro Football Focus, and the two will join star corner Marshon Lattimore in a secondary that allowed the third-fewest yards in the league in 2024.
