Predictions place the Cavaliers at No. 32 in ESPN’s Power Index, with a top‑five quarterback outlook and a defense ranked among the conference’s best.

The Cavaliers aim to translate offseason additions into on‑field dominance, with key players stepping into larger roles and a defense eager to tighten up.

Despite occasional bright spots, Florida State has not captured a top‑10 recruiting class since 2017, and recent losses to Clemson and other powerhouses highlight the program’s uphill battle.

Since taking the helm in 2022, Tony Elliott has turned his program into a pipeline for both NFL prospects and All‑ACC standouts, shaping a roster that blends raw talent with polished execution.

With the Cavaliers having experimented with permanent in‑season captains in 2025, the program is weighing a structured selection process for the upcoming year, highlighting a diverse slate of candidates across offense, defense and special teams.

The Cavaliers open with a tough slate, rely on a deep running back corps, and must navigate red‑zone uncertainty while Coach Tony Elliott pushes for consistent playoff contention.
