With fall camp officially underway for Florida State, it's full steam ahead to the start of the season. With the Seminoles taking the field, players are looking ahead to what their 2026 campaigns could become.
Redshirt sophomore receiver Micahi Danzy is ready to take strides this fall, and when speaking to reporters, he revealed one area of his game he wants to improve. Per John Evans of Noles247, Danzy said he wants to get better at intermediate route-running to go along with his deep speed.
He thinks that will elevate his game saying, "who can stop me?"
Considering that Danzy has a shot of really carving out a role for himself and the passing attack needs more reliable targets outside of Duce Robinson, this kind of confidence and awareness is exactly what's needed.
Micahi Danzy believes better intermediate route-running can unlock his game at Florida State
Throughout the offseason, Danzy has gotten love from his coaches. Head coach Mike Norvell made it his mission to shout Danzy out when talking to reporters earlier in the month.
"Micahi Danzy and the growth that he’s had this summer, I’m excited about what he’s bringing."
Norvell knows that Danzy can be a difference-maker for this offense, as he showed plenty of flashes last season. In 12 games, he finished with 27 catches for 571 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He led the ACC in yards per reception (21.1) and led the nation with six grabs of 50-plus yards.
There's no question that Danzy can take the top off a defense. Teams will hone in on that in 2026, which is why becoming a better route runner would be beneficial. Danzy knows it, so hopefully, after spending the spring running track for FSU, he can build that part of his game this fall camp.
Being able to beat defenders in the 10-20 yard range is massive and forces defenses into a bind, especially when a receiver has the speed that Danzy possesses. Instead of just focusing on getting beat over the top, teams would have a whole other area of the field to defend.
That would open up the route tree for Danzy, while also giving this offense another all-around weapon. And of course, the Florida native is still fine-tuning his game. 2025 was his first season playing receiver, as he was a running back for the Seminoles in 2024.
He's very raw to the position, so it's not a shocker to see him look to get better in different areas. It's also clear that this was a focus area for him this offseason and will continue to be one this summer. Only time will tell if that becomes a strength for him, but if it does, the Seminoles' offense will only get better.
You can't teach the speed that he has, but you can teach route-running. He's taking that personally, and if he takes strides in that area, he believes the sky is the limit.
