Florida State Seminoles Quarterback Revamp: Meet the New Signal-Callers for the 2026 Season
The Florida State Seminoles are gearing up for the 2026 season with a revamped quarterback unit. Redshirt freshman Kevin Sperry is the lone returning signal-caller from last year's two-deep roster. The team has welcomed four new quarterbacks this offseason, including Ashton Daniels from Auburn, Dean DeNobile from Lafayette College, JUCO Player of the Year Malachi Marshall, and four-star recruit Jaden O'Neal. Additionally, Austin Tucker has taken over as the quarterbacks coach after Tony Tokarz's departure to Buffalo.
With these changes, Florida State is looking to turn things around in Tallahassee. The Seminoles need to improve their recruiting efforts and bring in top-tier talent to compete at a high level. Head coach Mike Norvell is yet to secure a game-changing recruit from the high school ranks during his tenure at Florida State. Recently, the team extended an offer to four-star quarterback Andre Adams, who has garnered interest from other schools like Oregon and Kentucky.
Andre Adams had a standout junior season at Antioch High School, showcasing his skills as a quarterback. He put up impressive numbers, completing 71% of his passes for 3,418 yards and 35 touchdowns with just one interception. Adams also contributed on the ground with 855 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns. Standing at 6-foot-2 and weighing 180 pounds, Adams is ranked as the No. 131 overall prospect, the No. 10 QB, and the No. 6 recruit in Tennessee for the 2027 class by 247Sports.
Adams joins a talented quarterback board at Florida State, which includes recruits like four-star Wonderful Monds IV, three-star Davin Davidson, and three-star Derrick Baker. The Seminoles currently have five verbal commitments in their 2027 class, placing them at No. 11 in the national rankings. The commitments include three-star TE Connor Winn, three-star DE Anthony Cavallaro, four-star LB Gregory Batson, four-star DB Mekhi Williams, and three-star DB Jemari Foreman.
