Duce Robinson, a standout wide receiver for Florida State, has been named a nominee for the 2026 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team, a honor that spotlights college athletes who make a difference off the field.
The Good Works Team, curated by the Allstate AFCA, celebrates players who combine athletic talent with leadership, community service, and a commitment to uplifting others.
A legacy of service
Robinson’s volunteer work spans several initiatives. He spends weekends mentoring youngsters through Next Level Flag Football, where he guides children from kindergarten through seventh grade, teaching both the fundamentals of the game and the value of teamwork.
During FSU Day at the Capitol, he represented his university and later joined Literacy Week at Astoria Park Elementary School, encouraging reading and academic ambition among elementary students.
In the winter months, Robinson partnered with the Keep Climbing Family Foundation to organize a coat drive that provided outerwear to families facing the cold, a effort that underscores his year‑round dedication to those in need.
Last Thanksgiving, he joined forces with Legends Hospitality and former Seminole Micah Pettus to distribute turkeys to community members, turning a holiday tradition into a direct service act.
Recognition and upcoming events
The accolade follows his receipt of Florida State’s Bill McGrotha Award after the 2025 season, a prize reserved for students who demonstrate exceptional humanitarian service.
Looking ahead, Robinson will host the Duce Robinson Charity Pickleball Classic on July 23, with all proceeds earmarked for Special Olympics Florida, further cementing his pledge to support inclusive sport opportunities.
If selected, he would become the tenth Florida State player ever chosen for the Good Works Team, joining a distinguished group of peers who have previously earned the honor.
The final roster of 22 student‑athletes, plus one honorary head coach, will be announced in September, a timeline that adds anticipation to an already remarkable season.
