Duce Robinson has quickly become a focal point of college football conversations, landing at No. 5 among senior wide receivers in the 2027 NFL Draft rankings released by The Athletic’s senior analyst Dane Brugler.
A Transfer That Sparked Immediate Impact
After spending his first three seasons at USC, Robinson transferred to Florida State for the 2025 campaign, instantly becoming the Seminoles’ most potent weapon in the passing game.
In his debut season in Tallahassee, he posted 56 receptions for 1,081 yards and six touchdowns, averaging 19.3 yards per catch and ranking ninth nationally in receiving yards while earning first‑team All‑ACC honors.
A Record‑Setting Performance
Robinson’s 1,081-yard campaign marked the first 1,000‑yard receiving season for Florida State since 2019, and his explosive‑play numbers led the ACC in several categories, underscoring his ability to stretch the field.
Looking Ahead to a Senior Season
In January, Robinson announced he would forgo the 2026 NFL Draft and return to Tallahassee for his senior year, a decision that has kept him near the top of early draft boards and drawn preseason All‑America recognition.
With another productive season, he is expected to strengthen his case as a potential first‑round pick, possibly becoming the first wide receiver selected in the 2027 draft.
