WR DUCE ROBINSON

Florida State added transfers Malik Benson and Jalen Brown last offseason via the transfer portal. Both of the options were thought to be talented pass catchers that quarterback DJ Uiagalelei could be able to use with their speed.

However, both Benson and Brown were not as effective and transferred out of the Seminoles after one season. Florida State had to turn the page, and they grabbed three transfer wide receivers in Duce Robinson, Squirrel White, and Gavin Blackwell.

All three are likely to be involved in the offense, but I am most excited about the 6'6" Duce Robinson. The former USC Trojan should be able to be a safety blanket for quarterback Thomas Castellanos in second and third-down situations to extend drives.

If the Seminoles want to remain competitive in the game, Robinson will probably have to come down with some contested catches versus a talented Alabama secondary.
