Florida State brought one of the most talented
receivers in all of college football to the ACC Kickoff this week in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Duce Robinson took pro football’s evaluation seriously
and came back to Tallahassee for the 2026 season to build a football legacy
adorned with all that glitters is garnet and gold.
A highly-decorated pass catcher, both nationally and
in the ACC, Robinson is a dynamic possession receiver who puts pressure on
defenses. Last season, Robinson caught 56 passes for over 1,000 yards and six
touchdowns, earning first-team All-ACC honors.
At 6-foot-6, 222 pounds, he
averaged 19.3 yards per catch, which ranked him in the top ten nationally in
that category.
“A
couple of things that they had said, they would love to see me improve my game
upon, they would love to see that I can play a couple more positions, play all
over the field,” Robinson said. “Which is one of the great things about Coach Norvell and Coach
Harris' offense, is they put their play-makers in positions to win, no matter
where it might be.
“Then to go along with that, just being able to run a
little bit more of the route tree.” said Robinson. “Last year I was running a
lot of the same routes, so just being able to show that I can be a complete
receiver in myself, be successful at the next level, that's one of the main
reasons I came back.”
Robinson is known as the ultimate team player, who believes the
game of football and the team is bigger than any one player. He is a coach’s
dream and kind of guy you want in your locker room.
Robinson was asked about how he
has handled change throughout his college career, specifically the revolving
door of quarterbacks the Seminoles have trotted out onto the field the last
four seasons. His response was simply, “I think human life is about change, right?”
“We have to adjust. We have to adapt,” Robinson said. “This is going to be my fourth quarterback in four years. Ashton [Daniels] is among the
best. Ashton has been absolutely fantastic with everything he's done since the
very first day he's shown up.”
Make no mistake, this is not your daddy’s Florida
State football program. But, if Robinson and Daniels can build chemistry that translates
into big plays for big wins, that would be a gift from the football gods.
Add
the Tom Herman factor into the equation, with his ability to develop quarterbacks,
and that would be the catalyst that could change the Seminoles’ football lives
for the better.
