Spring cleaning is in full effect in Tallahassee with the calendar flipping to 2025. The Seminoles are looking to put the past behind them with a revamped coaching staff and plenty of new faces on the roster.

Earlier today, FSU updated its roster to include the 31 incoming high school/JUCO signees and transfers who enrolled in January. Nearly the entire #Tribe25 class will have the luxury of going through winter conditioning, the Tour of Duty, and spring practice to acclimate to how the Seminoles operate.

Information About Florida State's Offseason Program

The Seminoles have already begun their winter conditioning workouts and will hold their first Tour of Duty on Friday. Florida State will put in about eight weeks of work leading up to spring practice.

FSU is slated to have 15 practices in the spring. The Seminoles will not host their annual spring showcase in April due to ongoing renovations to Doak Campbell Stadium. The iconic venue will look a lot different when the program kicks off its 2025 schedule against Alabama in August.
