Florida State’s wide receiver room is starting to take shape in a big way - and assistant coach Tim Harris Jr. deserves a lot of credit for that. After arriving from UCF, Harris came in with some question marks, but he’s answered them quickly and convincingly on the recruiting trail.
The Seminoles landed six receivers in the 2026 class, and it’s not just about quantity - there’s quality across the board. Four-star prospects Jasen Lopez, Devin Carter, Efrem White, and Brandon Bennett headline the group, while three-stars Darryon Williams and Jonah Winston round out a class that gives Florida State a strong foundation to build around. That’s a blend of high-ceiling talent and depth that can keep the Seminoles competitive in the ACC and beyond.
But the good news doesn’t stop with the incoming class. Florida State also retained key contributors Duce Robinson, Micahi Danzy, and Jayvan Boggs - all of whom are expected to play significant roles in the passing game this fall.
Regardless of who ultimately wins the starting quarterback job, having this trio back gives the Seminoles a reliable, explosive core of pass catchers to work with. Continuity in the receiving corps is a luxury in today’s transfer-heavy college football landscape, and Florida State has it.
On the flip side, the wide receiver room has also seen some turnover, and one of the more notable departures is Camdon Frier. Once a promising four-star prospect and a legacy player for the Seminoles, Frier officially signed with Tarleton State on Wednesday.
Frier’s journey at Florida State never quite took off. After being part of a highly-touted 2024 recruiting class under then-wide receivers coach Ron Dugans - a class that also included Lawayne McCoy, Elijah Moore, and BJ Gibson - Frier was the last man standing.
McCoy transferred to Louisville, Moore landed at Syracuse, and Gibson opted to pursue baseball. Frier, meanwhile, saw limited action during his two years in Tallahassee, appearing in just four games this past season.
Given his limited playing time, the writing was on the wall for a transfer. And now, Frier gets a fresh start at Tarleton State - a program where he’ll have the chance to carve out a role and get back to doing what he does best: making plays.
Coming out of Columbia High School in Lake City, Florida, Frier was a consensus top-100 receiver nationally. The talent is there.
What he needs now is opportunity.
This move is a reminder of how fluid college football has become. Players are navigating a new era - one where the transfer portal isn’t just a backup plan, but a strategic tool to find the right fit. For Frier, Tarleton State could be exactly that.
And for Florida State, the wide receiver room continues to evolve. With a strong incoming class, key returners, and a coaching staff that’s shown it can recruit and develop talent, the Seminoles are positioning themselves well heading into 2026.
