Florida State Seminoles Seek Game-Changers for 2026 Season

The Florida State Seminoles need a turnaround in the 2026 season after posting a 7-17 record in the last two seasons.

What are the expectations for the Seminoles?

Head coach Mike Norvell has the support of the administration, but the roster must deliver.

The Seminoles have talented players who can be game-changers, including Duce Robinson and Mandrell Desir.

Who are the key players for the Seminoles?

Duce Robinson, a wide receiver, was a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award and had 1,081 yards and six touchdowns last season.

Mandrell Desir, a defensive lineman, had 6.5 sacks and 30 total tackles in his freshman season.

What can be expected from the offense?

The Seminoles' offense will rely heavily on Duce Robinson, who will be the primary target for quarterback Ashton Daniels.

Ousmane Kromah, a running back, will likely be used alongside Texas transfer Tre Wisnor.

How will the defense perform?

The Seminoles' defense will look to improve with the addition of Chris Jones, a linebacker who had 134 tackles for Southern Miss last season.

The defense will also rely on Mandrell Desir, who was disruptive and had a forced fumble last season.

The Seminoles' next game is against the New Mexico State Aggies on August 29, 2026.

And the team is looking to start the season strong with a win.

But the Seminoles will need to utilize their game-changers to achieve a remarkable turnaround.

So the pressure is on for the Seminoles to deliver in the 2026 season.

The Seminoles have the talent, but they need to put it all together to succeed.
