Florida State is reshaping its defensive backfield with new coaches, transfers and retained leaders as it aims to improve on last season's inconsistencies.

Florida State's defensive backfield receives a major infusion of talent as the Seminoles lock in two four-star recruits and keep a high-profile prospect on their radar.

Florida State University's football program has secured a trio of top defensive backs, reinforcing its secondary ahead of the 2028 recruiting cycle.

Florida State's 2026 recruiting class, ranked No. 17 nationally, is anchored by defensive standouts Kevin Wynn, Chauncey Kennon and emerging playmakers Devin Carter and Jasen Lopez, who could reshape the team's depth chart.

Dayon Cooper, a 4.5‑second 40‑yard dash standout, is reportedly considering a switch from Florida State to the University of Tennessee, where his speed could be deployed at wide receiver.
