Florida State Seminoles face a high-stakes offseason as rival programs actively attempt to poach key players—will FSU’s administration deliver the cash needed to keep the roster intact? Rising stars like Micahi Danzy, with world-class track speed, and freshman running back Ousmane Kromah headline the must-retain list. Can Florida State fend off lucrative NIL offers from programs like Georgia, Alabama, Miami, and Oregon to preserve its offensive firepower?

Brian Smith ranks the Seminoles’ most valuable talent and reveals why Amaree Williams, the Desir twins, and nose guard Kevin Wynn are critical to building a formidable defense next year. Strategies for navigating coaching changes, NIL realities, and in-season injuries take center stage, with the future of FSU’s lineup—and the next coach’s success—hanging in the balance. As FSU prepares for a pivotal clash against Virginia Tech, questions loom about Norvell’s leadership and whether the team has the grit to deliver when it matters most.
