Florida State Seminoles Spring Practice: Rebuilding for Success in 2026
The Florida State Seminoles are facing a challenging situation as they kick off spring practice in Tallahassee. After a disappointing 7-17 record over the past two seasons, the Seminoles have missed out on bowl games for the second time in nearly 50 years. Coach Mike Norvell will need to work hard to rebuild the team's success.
Despite showing promise with a strong roster last season, including an upset win against Alabama, the Seminoles struggled to maintain consistency and suffered multiple losses. The team's lack of stability and inability to secure top talent from high school and transfer players are major concerns that need to be addressed.
With only six returning starters, including just two on offense and none on the offensive line, Florida State has made significant changes to its coaching staff and roster. The addition of new coaches and the recruitment of around 60 new players signal a fresh start for the team as they aim to break out of their current slump.
The Seminoles will kick off the 2026 season against New Mexico State on August 29, followed by a challenging schedule that includes matchups against SMU, Alabama, and Clemson. The team's performance in the upcoming season will be crucial in determining their future success and Coach Norvell's tenure in Tallahassee.
