Florida State’s offense enters the 2026 season with plenty of uncertainty, but College Football 27 gives fans an early look at how the Seminoles stack up in the game.
The Noles open the new EA Sports title with an 83 overall offensive rating, and Duce Robinson sits at the top of the roster as the clear headliner in Tallahassee. He’s not just Florida State’s best offensive player in the game - he’s also listed among the top talents in the country.
The rest of the offense features a mix of new faces and intriguing pieces, including a new starting quarterback, a rebuilt offensive line, and additions at running back and tight end that are expected to matter right away. That gives gamers a chance to experiment with the group before the real thing kicks off on August 29.
One player who did not crack the cut was Ashton Daniels.
Here’s how the top-rated Florida State offensive players in College Football 27 shake out:
Duce Robinson tops the list, with the source noting that another 1,000-yard season is on the radar and adding, “Just throw it Duce’s way and pray.”
Behind him, the list includes a cluster of players who should give dynasty mode users plenty to work with. Tommy Castellanos is in the mix as the new quarterback, while the offensive line features several names expected to help stabilize the unit. Jayvan Boggs and Jasen Lopez are tied as the third-highest-rated receivers on the roster, with Lopez bringing 91 speed that could turn into big plays.
Samuel Singleton Jr. is the third-highest-rated running back, but he’s the fastest in the room at 91 speed. The backfield also includes Wisner and Kromah, a pairing the source describes as part of “one of the most deadly” combinations in the game.
On the line, Jaylen Early is projected to start somewhere on the interior and brings three years of eligibility remaining, making him a player to watch in dynasty mode. At tackle, Chimdia Nwaiwu is believed to have the inside track to start at right tackle in real life, though EA Sports has him rated at 71 overall, which points to Pabst handling the job in the game.
The list also includes Randy Pittman Jr., who is noted as the more dynamic option compared with Riles, though Riles is expected to be productive enough. Danzy, now in his second year at wide receiver, is already the fourth-highest-rated player on the offense and is expected to be a major weapon for gamers. Chapman is also expected to be dependable in the virtual version of the offense, especially alongside Daniels’ athleticism and the running backs behind him.
Excitement, meanwhile, is the word attached to Kromah, with the source saying it may be hard to keep him from declaring for the NFL after year two in Dynasty.

Cam Ward Is Already Shaping Miamis Five-Star Quarterback Future
Israel Abrams has spent much of the offseason in the middle of the national quarterback conversation, and the Miami commit keeps adding to that rsum. The five-star from Montini Catholic High School has already gone through high-profile competitions this summer, including the Elite 11 finals, and he is now turning toward his senior season with plenty of attention on how far his game can go before he arrives in Coral Gables.
What makes the latest stop stand out for Hurricanes fans is the company Abrams kept at an Overtime and Under Armour passing camp, where former Miami quarterback Cam Ward was among the voices working with him. Social media clips from the event showed interviews with Abrams and Ward, another reminder that Miamis quarterback pipeline is already being shaped by the kind of players the program hopes to keep attracting, even before Abrams plays a down for the Hurricanes.

Miami Still Has One Pressing Tight End Question Behind Elija Lofton
Elija Lofton gives Miami a proven veteran at tight end, but the room behind him is still sorting itself out as the Hurricanes head toward the new season. Four-star newcomers Gavin Mueller and Israel Briggs arrive with real pass-catching credentials from big high school careers, giving the position group a more talented look than it had a year ago and adding some intrigue to how the depth chart will settle.
The bigger question is how quickly either freshman can earn trust in the parts of the job that do not show up in highlight clips. Miami also brought in Mike Viti as the new tight ends coach, a hire that brings a strong reputation from his time at Army and should matter in a room where technique and physicality will decide snaps. Mueller and Briggs can both run routes, but their path to playing time will hinge on how well they handle the blocking side of the position. [Read more 🡒]
Miamis Loaded Backfield Is Forcing A Huge Decision Before Stanford
Miamis running back room is suddenly one of the most interesting position battles on the roster, and it could shape how the Hurricanes look when Stanford comes to town. Jordan Lyle, Mark Fletcher Jr., CharMar Brown and Girard Pringle Jr. all bring something different to the table, which is exactly why the staff has a real decision to sort through before the opener.
Lyle was supposed to be the lead option a year ago, while Fletcher gave Miami the sturdier, more physical presence it needed during the College Football Playoff run. Brown adds another layer to the mix, and Pringle has stayed in the conversation as a player the Canes want involved. The result is a backfield with no shortage of options, but also no clear answer yet on how the workload should be divided. [Read more 🡒]
