Florida State’s Brian Courtney gets new new position, jersey number

Florida State sophomore Brian Courtney, who played primarily on special teams in 2022, will be working at a new position and getting a new jersey number in 2023.

On the Seminoles’ official roster page, which was updated Friday, Courtney is listed as a tight end/linebacker, and his jersey is No. 40. Previously, he wore No. 86.

Courtney starred on offense and defense in high school as a three-star prospect out of Ashburn, Va., but he came to Florida State as a tight end.

The Seminoles have five other scholarship tight ends on the roster, with several of them being older and ahead of Courtney on the depth chart.

Markeston Douglas is a returning starter, and Florida State also brought in high-profile transfers Jaheim Bell and Kyle Morlock. Other tight ends include Jerrale Powers, Jackson West and experienced walk-on Preston Daniel.

Courtney played on FSU’s kickoff and punt coverage units as a freshman, seeing action in 12 games and recording one tackle.
