Fall Depth Chart Highlights Quarterback Hierarchy
Florida State’s football program unveiled its fall depth chart this week, offering a first look at how the Seminoles plan to structure their offense for the upcoming season. The document outlines starter assignments and the competition for backup roles, setting the stage for the team’s offensive strategy.
At the top of the list, Ashton Daniels is slated to be the starting quarterback, taking the first snap in the season opener. His performance during preseason practices has solidified his position as the clear No. 1 under center.
Behind him, Kevin Sperry and Malachi Marshall are locked in a battle for the second‑string role, with Marshall’s recent enrollment and the much‑discussed 5‑for‑5 rule giving him early momentum. Both players are expected to push Daniels throughout the year.
At running back, Ousmane Kromah has locked down the top spot, having impressed coaches during preseason workouts, while Samuel Singleton Jr. remains a key contributor and Tre Wisner is viewed as a wildcard after a injury‑marred recovery.
The receiver corps is headed by Duce Robinson, the team’s primary pass catcher, with Tae’Shaun Gelsey emerging as a reliable backup; Micahi Danzy also starts at wideout, and true freshman Devin Carter is expected to see extensive action thanks to his versatility.
Slot receiver duties will likely be shared between Jasen Lopez and Jayvan Boggs, though Boggs is still working his way back from a lingering injury, while Desirrio Riles and Landen Thomas anchor the tight end position, with Chase Loftin and Xavier Tiller pushing for more snaps.
The offensive line appears largely set, featuring Xavier Chaplin and Jonathan Daniels at left tackle, Andre’ Otto and Paul Bowling competing for the left guard spot, Bradyn Welch‑Joiner and Chavez Thompson at center, and Nate Pabst and Chimdia Nwaiwu rotating at right tackle and guard.
Overall, the depth chart reflects a blend of established starters and promising newcomers, with only a few positions still up for grabs as the Seminoles fine‑tune their attack before the first game.
