4. Johnny Wilson, redshirt junior

Coming into this season, Johnny Wilson was the big-name receiver on Florida State’s roster in NFL draft conversations. At 6-foot-7 he’s a freak on the outside, but injury concerns and the fact that Coleman has clearly usurped him on the same team, have dropped his stock.

Still, Wilson has 497 yards on 30 catches with two touchdowns and is a big play threat. In 2022 he averaged a staggering 20.9 yards per reception in his first year at FSU after transferring for Arizona State.

As a redshirt junior, Wilson still has one more season of eligibility, so there is a chance that he wants to come back and dominate as the No. 1 receiver again to potentially climb back into the first-round discussion for 2025, but that’s unlikely.

Wilson will probably head for the NFL along with his teammates. The fact that Jordan Travis is finally leaving will make returning a tougher sell.
