WR DUCE ROBINSON

Florida State football added USC's Duce Robinson, Tennessee's Squirrel White, and North Carolina's Gavin Blackwell in the transfer portal this offseason. However, it cannot get much worse than what transpired last year when they added Alabama's Malik Benson and LSU's Jalen Brown, who are both off of the Seminoles' roster now.

The Seminoles' offense was a tough watch last season as they were one of the worst in all of college football. With that said, my hopes are that quarterback Thomas Castellanos can turn the narrative around.

We all know that, as talented as Castellanos is, he cannot do it by himself. He will need adequate help to be successful in the Garnet and Gold. I believe that the dual-threat quarterback will be in some third-down situations.

This is a big help to have 6'6" Duce Robinson in the offense. He had 750 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in his two seasons with the Trojans. The legacy transfer will be pivotal in high-pointing the football and creating mismatches against this Alabama defense.
