Florida State football redshirt freshman defensive back Ricky Knight III has been suspended from football activities following an arrest on Nov. 3.

Knight was charged with two counts of burglary with assault or battery, one count of burglary of dwelling and one count of criminal mischief, according to an arrest/probable cause affidavit.

He has been granted a pre-trial release, but he is not allowed to leave Leon County and will be monitored by a GPS.

An FSU football spokesperson confirmed that Knight was suspended. There were no details provided on the length of the suspension.

He has primarily been a scout team player for the Seminoles since enrolling in the university in 2024. He has appeared in three games and has recorded only one tackle, coming against East Texas A&M.
