The Florida State Seminoles are working to put the past two seasons behind them. The Seminoles are a combined 7-17 overall since the beginning of the 2024 campaign. Head coach Mike Norvell has made plenty of tweaks and changes to right the ship, they just haven't worked so far.

Earlier this week, Florida State updated its roster to include the 50 incoming high school/JUCO signees and transfers who enrolled in January. The majority of the program's #Tribe26 class will be in Tallahassee to participate in offseason conditioning and spring practice to get familiar with the Seminoles.
