Florida State's 2025 season was a rollercoaster, featuring standout talents but stumbling when it mattered most-in the red zone. With Duce Robinson making defenders look silly and Micahi Danzy blazing past anyone in his path, you'd expect fireworks. Yet, consistency was elusive.
Enter 2026, and head coach Mike Norvell is taking the reins of play-calling after Gus Malzahn's unexpected retirement. Norvell's got a lot riding on this season, with some whispers suggesting his job could be on the line.
A major win for the Seminoles is the return of Duce Robinson. But the big question is: who will be delivering him the ball?
The competition is heating up between transfer Ashton Daniels and redshirt freshman Kevin Sperry. It’s a decision that demands careful consideration, especially after past quarterback experiments didn’t pan out as hoped.
Florida State's offense needs more than just star power; it requires depth. With Duce Robinson, Micahi Danzy, and Jayvan Boggs likely leading the charge at wide receiver, spreading the ball around will be key to keeping defenses guessing.
One name to watch is redshirt freshman tight end Chase Loftin. Coach Norvell has been singing his praises, hinting that Loftin could be a game-changer.
Standing tall at 6'6", Loftin is poised to make a significant impact after sitting out last year. While tight ends might not always steal the spotlight, the trio of Landen Thomas, Desirrio Riles, and Chase Loftin could electrify the fan base and bring some much-needed excitement to the Seminoles' offense.
