10 most important players for Florida State football in 2026

1. QB Ashton Daniels: Most important position on the football field. He has to deliver in a big way.

2. WR Duce Robinson: One of the bigger stories when he comes to returnees. Wants to have a very productive 2026 campaign.

3. DL Mandrell Desir: He will have plenty of double teams coming his way, but this will allow more pressure from other defenders to get to the quarterback.

4. OL Xavier Chaplin: Protecting Ashton Daniels’s blind side will be key to a successful year in Tallahassee.

5. DL Daniel Lyons: This defense needs to stop the run and it won’t be easy without the services of the 6’5”, 337-pound Darrell Jackson Jr, but the veteran defensive lineman needs to live up to his preseason hype.

6. DB Ashlynd Barker: He will be replacing Earl Little Jr, who transferred over to Ohio State, in what is the most important position in Tony White’s defense.

7. DL Rylan Kennedy: The defense will be playing the ROVER this season, and the Seminoles have plenty of confidence that the senior pass rushing transfer is just scratching the surface of what he can be as a player in 2026.

8. LB Chris Jones: Florida State fans haven’t seen consistent linebacker play since Kalen DeLoach and Tatum Bethune in 2023, but they are hoping for an All-ACC season from someone who had 133 tackles last year.

9. DB Ja’Bril Rawls: Florida State’s defense will be facing plenty of quality offensive talent in 2026. As a result, the defensive backs will have to ensure that these opposing offenses are one-dimensional. The Pensacola, Florida native looks to take the next step in his development.

10. RB Ousmane Kromah: The Year 1 to Year 2 jump could be real for the talented running back. It is time for the former four-star prospect to shine in 2026 with an offense that wants to establish the running game to set up easier passing opportunities.
