Even after adding Notre Dame offensive line transfer Dillan Gibbons last week, the Florida State football staff is still in the market for another OL transfer for the 2021 season.

And that fact is clearly not lost on the Seminoles' players, some of whom have taken to social media to woo one of the newest and most impressive candidates on the market.

Shortly after former Marshall standout Cain Madden announced on Wednesday that he is entering the transfer portal, FSU players joined a slew of fans in encouraging him to strongly consider the Seminoles.

Madden was a three-year starter at guard for the Thundering Herd and earned second-team All-America honors this past season. He was listed at 6-foot-3 and 313 pounds on the Marshall website.

FSU defensive coordinator Adam Fuller was on the Marshall staff for Madden's first three seasons with the Herd (2016-18) before leaving to join Mike Norvell's Memphis staff in 2019.

Here are tweets from QB McKenzie Milton, QB Jordan Travis, RB Jashaun Corbin, LB Amari Gainer, offensive lineman Devontay Love-Taylor and RB Deonte Sheffield

Madden also is being followed on Twitter by several members of the Seminoles' staff.
