Former UCF offensive lineman Adrian Medley had lined up multiple potential visits before making his transfer decision.

However, it turns out he's expecting to make just one visit.

Medley said Friday when exiting his Florida State official visit that he no longer plans to take any other visits and that he'll announce his transfer destination on Saturday.

"It felt like family here," Medley said after wrapping up his two-day FSU visit. "Obviously, I played for the (former UCF) coaches so I already knew them. I loved everything about (the visit.)"

Medley is entering his sixth and final year of eligibility after spending all five of his first years in college football at UCF. The last four of those years were under Gus Malzahn and Herb Hand, who are now FSU's offensive coordinator and offensive line coach.

"I'm looking for a coach just like coach Hand. He's a coach that poured into me a lot and got me where I am now," Medley said. "He's played a big part in this and he's basically a father figure to me because he was the one that, when I was down, built me back up to who I was meant to be."

Medley played sparingly in his first four seasons at UCF, appearing in 14 games and starting seven over the 2022 and 2023 seasons while missing time due to an injury. In 2024, he broke through and started all 12 games that season at left guard, the same position he says FSU wants him to play in 2025.

Pro Football Focus graded out Medley's first full season as a starter favorably, assessing him a 69.1 overall grade, 73.3 pass-blocking grade and 66.9 run-blocking grade.

"It felt good," Medley said of his 2024 season. "I came off of an injury and I finally felt like I belonged there."

While Medley didn't have much of a relationship with Mike Norvell before visiting, the FSU head coach made a strong impression on the potential Seminole.

"He got energy. I love his energy. All that yelling and stuff, it really brings energy to us, makes us feel like part of his family," Medley said. "He doesn't even me know me for real. He just brought me in and wants me to be myself and he'll be himself. I love everything he brings to the table....They want me to come in and be a leader and start for them."

Originally a three-star recruit in the 2019 class out of Pensacola, Medley was heavily considering FSU out of high school, taking multiple visits to Tallahassee. That changed, however, when Jimbo Fisher left FSU to take the Texas A&M job. Medley originally committed to Fisher at his new school, but eventually stayed in-state at UCF.

Should Medley choose the Seminoles on Saturday, it would be something of a full-circle moment for him to close out his collegiate career.

"I've got one year left. If y'all knew me from back way then, I used to come here every summer. I was about to come here (as a high-school recruit) but Jimbo Fisher went somewhere else. Now, I'm home. I love to be here..." Medley said. "This right here feels like family. Like I'm meant to be here."
