Seminoles Lead the Way at 2026 ACC Kickoff
The 2026 ACC Kickoff is set to bring together the conference’s top storylines in Charlotte, North Carolina, on July 15, offering a preview of the upcoming football season.
Florida State will be represented by head coach Mike Norvell alongside quarterback Ashton Daniels, wide receiver Duce Robinson and defensive back Ja’Bril Rawls, each of whom brings a distinct narrative to the event.
Ashton Daniels, a redshirt senior transfer from Auburn and Stanford, has appeared in 37 games over four seasons, amassing 4,783 passing yards, 1,397 rushing yards and 35 total touchdowns.
Duce Robinson, a senior from Phoenix, earned first‑team All‑ACC and third‑team All‑America honors in 2025 after catching 56 passes for 1,081 yards and six touchdowns, complemented by academic recognitions.
Ja’Bril Rawls, a fourth‑year Seminole from Pensacola, started seven games at cornerback before a season‑ending injury, finishing with 40 tackles, two tackles for loss, two pass breakups, an interception and a fumble recovery.
Mike Norvell, now in his seventh year leading the Seminoles, is the ACC’s fourth‑longest tenured head coach and has coached 38 NFL draft picks, 22 All‑Americans and 122 all‑conference selections during his ten‑year head‑coaching career.
The event will be held at the Hilton Charlotte Uptown, where the Seminoles will join other ACC programs for media sessions and fan engagement ahead of the new season.
