Florida State has made contact with UNC Asheville standout Kameron Taylor after his 18.9 PPG breakout season.

Florida State basketball's coaching staff is casting its net wide in what is shaping up to be one of the most consequential transfer portal cycles in program history. On Tuesday, the Seminoles made a connection with one of the most intriguing mid-major scorers available in the country, UNC Asheville sophomore guard Kameron Taylor. Taylor broke out last season, averaging 18.

9 points, 5. 0 rebounds, 3. 0 assists, and 0.

8 steals per game while earning Big South All-Conference First Team honors. He held a Zoom call with Florida State on Tuesday, according to On3's Jamie Shaw . It is the kind of recruitment that illustrates exactly what head coach Luke Loucks is looking for as he works to rebuild a Seminoles backcourt gutted by graduation and portal departures.

Taylor appeared in 32 games with 30 starts during the 2025-26 season, shooting 45. 3 percent from the field and 28. 1 percent from three-point range.
