Florida State had a very difficult 2025 season as they went 5-7 and missed a bowl game for the second consecutive season. There were a few bright spots along the way, and wide receiver Duce Robinson was one of them.
He was the unquestioned No. 1 option in the passing game for the Seminoles as he led the team receptions, yards, and receiving touchdowns. It led to him receiving several accolades including a First-Team All-ACC nod and being named a Biletnikoff Award semifinalist.
As the days count down to the upcoming season, Clark Brooks of On3 released a list of the top 100 players in the nation. Robinson landed at No. 74 in the rankings.
Duce Robinson and his pterodactyl wingspan offers a lot of margin of error for FSU’s dropback game. And after a breakout 2025, 2026 should continue to see him be one of the ACC’s most prolific pass catchers.
The 6-foot-6, 223-pounder led the ACC with 1,081 receiving yards in the regular season on 56 receptions and scored six touchdowns. Robinson had five games over 120 yards, and three of them came in consecutive games last November.
Robinson finished with the ninth-most receiving yards in FSU history. It was also the first time a Florida State receiver went over 1,000 yards since 2019. With a such an important season coming up for the Seminoles when it comes to the future of head coach Mike Norvell and the overall direction of the program in general, getting Robinson to forgo the NFL to return was huge.
Micahi Danzy needs to take the next step in his sophomore year, and Jayvan Boggs will have big spotlight on him as well. Incoming blue-chip freshman receivers Devin Carter, Jasen Lopez, and EJ White all have the potential to contribute very early. However, Robinson is the lead dog, and he’ll need to have another special year for Florida State to have a bounce-back year.
