To celebrate only 100 days until college football season, On3 came unveiled its Top 100 preseason player<\/a>s list, and Florida State had two players make the cut.<\/p>\n

The first Seminole to appear in the rankings was wide receiver Duce Robinson<\/a> at No. 74. During his first year with the Seminoles in 2025, the former Southern Cal transfer racked up 56 receptions for 1,081 yards and six touchdowns. Robinson became the first player since Tamorrion Terry in 2019 to pass the 1,000-yard mark for Florida State, and he joined the likes of Rashad Greene, Snoop Minnis and Peter Warrick to reach that mark.<\/p>\n

Robinson was the seventh-ranked receiver on the list, behind Ohio State\u2019s Jeremiah Smith<\/a>, Miami\u2019s Malachi Toney<\/a>, Texas\u2019 Cam Coleman<\/a>, Texas A&M\u2019s Mario Craver<\/a>, Rutgers\u2019 KJ Duff<\/a> and Indiana\u2019s Charlie Becker.<\/a><\/p>\n

The second Florida State player to make the list was former Freshman All-America defensive lineman Mandrell Desir.<\/a><\/p>\n

Desir was a surprise standout as a freshman last season, and he quickly emerged as one of the top defensive linemen in the ACC. He led the Seminoles with 6.5 sacks.<\/p>\n

Desir is also the eighth-ranked defensive lineman on the list.<\/p>\n
