Florida State football is back in action post-Spring Break, diving into practices with renewed focus. This period is crucial for the Seminoles to build team chemistry. Although fans won't get to witness a spring game this year, the depth charts are quietly taking shape behind the scenes.
In true modern college football fashion, Florida State has revamped its roster through high school recruits and the transfer portal. It's a new era where familiar faces might be scarce when the Seminoles face New Mexico State on Saturday, August 29th.
As spring practices gear up, let's spotlight the players poised to make a push for starting roles.
QB Kevin Sperry
The Seminoles are witnessing a quarterback duel between Auburn transfer Ashton Daniels and redshirt freshman Kevin Sperry. Daniels appears to be edging ahead, but the Seminoles' reliance on the portal for quarterbacks has been a trend. Sperry, a former four-star recruit, certainly has the skills-now it's about harnessing them effectively.
RB Ousmane Kromah
Adding to the running back mix, Texas transfer Tre Wisner joins Ousmane Kromah and Sam Singleton Jr. The excitement was palpable when Florida State snagged Kromah from Georgia and Auburn's clutches in the 2025 cycle. With significant investment in Kromah, the expectation is to see the offense run through him.
TE Chase Loftin
Chase Loftin, once a prized recruit for head coach Mike Norvell, is back in focus. An injury sidelined him last season, but now he's returned to his natural position at tight end. Standing at 6'6", Loftin is a matchup nightmare for defenses, and the Seminoles are keen to exploit that advantage.
WR Devin Carter
Returning wideouts like Duce Robinson, Micahi Danzy, and Jayvan Boggs provide any quarterback with a wealth of options. However, true freshman Devin Carter has been turning heads this spring.
A legacy player and former four-star recruit, Carter is eager to make his mark. The coaching staff is hopeful he will emerge as a key player by 2027.
CB Chuck Kennon
Seminoles fans have been curious about the absence of Charles Lester III on the field, a recurring theme among defensive backs. While the group hasn't been a glaring issue, young talents have often been benched.
Enter Chuck Kennon, a true freshman and the highest-rated prospect from the 2026 cycle. Kennon has shown promise this spring and needs to carve out his role on the field this season.
As Florida State navigates these critical spring practices, the blend of fresh talent and strategic transfers could set the stage for an exciting season ahead.
