Matthew Cleveland enters transfer portal; Top 5 landing spots
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (BVM) – Matthew Cleveland, the ACC’s Sixth Man of the Year from a season ago, has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal after an impressive two-year run at Florida State.
The rising junior guard opted to put his name into this year’s growing portal after a 2022-23 campaign that saw him average 13.8 points and 7.4 rebounds. Following a season in which he came off the bench for head coach Leonard Hamilton, Cleveland elevated his play with an increased role during this year’s campaign, starting all 30 games.
