Two key FSU players could return from injury soon

The FSU Seminoles are on their second and final bye of the season as they prepare for their final five games of the season. It has come at a good time for the Seminoles, who have suffered several injuries and need the time to get healthy. According to a report from Matt LaSerre of Warchant , freshman wide receiver Devin Carter and linebacker Blake Nichelson are both recovering well and could be on the field soon. Carter, who has yet to appear in a game this season, suffered a back and rib injury during the preseason, but was expected to make an immediate impact on offense. The former four-star prospect is now practicing, and there is "optimism" he could play against the Clemson Tigers on Oct. 31, according to LaSerre. He was one of FSU's top signees in the 2026 recruiting class and would add more depth to the receiver rotation. Nichelson played in the season opener against the New Mexico State Aggies but has not appeared since. According to LaSerre, he is "trending well for a return to the field soon." His return could be big for the linebacker room, which has already lost Izayia Williams and Daylen Green

Godby High School football’s 1976 champs reunite after 50 years

Many had grown up playing football together, from peewee through junior high and into high school at Godby in the mid-1970s. They knew one another's strengths, personalities and weaknesses. More than anything, they trusted each other. Decades later, as the team prepares to reunite and celebrate the Cougars' first state championship in football 50 years ago, that's what the players remember most. They were teammates, certainly. But they felt like brothers.. "We were a very close-knit group," star running back Chris Hobbs said. "We didn't have a lot of numbers. We didn't have a lot of big guys. We were more like brothers. I am looking forward to seeing everyone. I am going to show up with a smile on my face." Godby Cougars swept through 1976 football season undefeated Godby’s journey to a perfect 14-0 season in 1976 culminated with a Class 4A state championship victory over favored and powerful Miami Carol City at Lakeland’s Bryant Stadium. But the Cougars’ path to the title actually began three years earlier. In 1973, Godby, a program that had never experienced a winning season, hired Gerald Culbreth from crosstown Leon High. From the beginning, Culbreth preached one goal to his incoming freshman

Florida State has extended an offer to 2027 edge from Georgia

2027 edge Nasir Braxton plays football at Decatur High School in Decatur, Georgia. Back in August, the physically imposing 6-foot-4, 230-pounder didn't have any offers on the table, but one video changed all that as his senior year kicked off. Braxton now has 12 offers, which include the Baylor Bears and the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Per Benjamin Wolk of 247Sports , Florida State added their name to the list on Friday by offering him. "Braxton's most recent addition brings some of the best brand-value yet: Florida State. The Seminoles had hosted on Braxton on a game day visit earlier this season. Florida State finally extended the offer on Friday," said Wolk. Braxton is the No. 993 overall player and the No. 83 edge per the 247Sports composite rankings. He's listed as the No. 117 prospect in Georgia as well. As far as official visits go, Braxton has three of them locked in for the rest of the season. He'll go see the East Carolina Pirates on Oct. 31, Baylor on Nov. 7, and on Nov. 28 he'll be at Oklahoma State. He has additional plans to visit the Miami Hurricanes on Nov. 14 and the USC Trojans on Nov. 21,

FSU front office executive hired by Iowa State

Josh Turner is leaving Florida State to join the Iowa State Cyclones as their Senior Deputy Athletics Director, the school announced on Friday . Turner joined FSU in 2025 as their Deputy Athletics Director and Chief Financial Officer. "I'm honored to join Iowa State as Senior Deputy Athletics Director and grateful to Jared Benko and university leadership for their confidence," Turner said.

Iowa State has both, and with CyTown and the talented team already in place, I look forward to helping translate that strength into sustained competitive advantage for Cyclone student-athletes." He was in charge of FSU's $243 million consolidated budget and developed a plan to prepare the department and university for the changing economics in college sports.

FSU WR named Campbell Award finalist by National Football Foundation

FSU football wide receiver Duce Robinson has been named a finalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy in 2026. The Campbell Trophy is given to any football athlete; the award "recognizes an individual as the absolute best in the nation for his combined academic success, football performance and exemplary leadership." The Phoenix, Arizona native was seen as one of the top returners for Florida State 's roster, and while he has had a somewhat quiet year, the accolades keep coming. Last year, Robinson was named a Third Team All-American and First Team All-ACC member. Through seven games, Robinson has 22 receptions for 407 yards and four touchdowns in 2026. There is some history with the ACC, and more specifically, the Seminoles being named to awards given by the NFF. Robinson is the only finalist from the ACC this year, but this marks FSU's ninth NFF National Scholar Athlete in program history, and their first time being a finalist for this award since 2010. Whether Robinson can win the award will be up to the NFF committee. Fans can expect the winner to be announced on Dec. 8. You can read the full press release here . CAMPBELL TROPHY FINALIST 🏆

FSU gets a boost in ESPN’s latest FPI update

Florida State did not leave Miami with the win it wanted, but the Seminoles’ performance apparently helped their standing in one of ESPN’s primary predictive metrics. FSU climbed five spots to No. 36 nationally in ESPN’s latest Football Power Index rankings following its 43-35 double-overtime loss to Miami. The Seminoles were No. 41 last week after falling 44-20 at Louisville. The rise is notable considering Florida State suffered its second consecutive loss and dropped to 3-4 overall and 1-3 in ACC play. This was hardly a typical loss, however. FSU entered the rivalry matchup as roughly a three-touchdown underdog and pushed an undefeated Miami team into a second overtime before finally losing. The Hurricanes remain No. 4 nationally in FPI, helping put the Seminoles’ road performance into perspective. Florida State now carries a 9.6 FPI rating, which ranks fifth among ACC programs. Miami leads the conference at No. 4, followed by Wake Forest at No. 16, Louisville at No. 23, and SMU at No. 35. FSU sits immediately behind the Mustangs at No. 36. Unlike a traditional poll, FPI is designed to measure how strong a team is expected to be moving forward rather than simply rewarding wins and punishing
