  FIU quarterback Stone Norton, who was named Mr. Tennessee in 2018 after throwing for more than 3,000 yards as a high school senior, has entered his name in the transfer portal and is already back in Nashville, awaiting his next opportunity. Norton's biggest FIU moment came in the season-opener. He came in off the bench in the second half, rallying FIU from a 10-point deficit before the Panthers lost 36-34 to Liberty. He completed 9-of-13 passes for 120 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in what was likely the best performance by an FIU quarterback all season. However, after getting uneven playing time the rest of the season, he opted out. Chris Norton, Stone's father, flew down to Miami on Monday and then helped his son pack up and head home. They made the non-stop trip to Nashville in 14 hours, and it was "bittersweet", Chris Norton said.

"We envisioned Stone would be at FIU four or five years," his father said. "After fall camp, we though he had won the job. And after [the Liberty game], we thought the same thing. "It's a tough deal, frustrating...He's got a couple of weeks to make a decision [on a new college], and with the recruiting restrictions [on visiting campuses due to the pandemic], it will be a leap of faith." Norton's transfer is just the latest disappointment for an FIU pandemic-shortened season that concluded with a 0-5 record. FIU hadn't gone winless since 2006, when coach Don Strock - the former Dolphins quarterback - went 0-12. - Miami Herald
