FSU Football Depth Chart: What To Know Ahead Of No. 19 SMU

The Florida State Seminoles are entering their second game week of the 2026 season.

After taking care of business against New Mexico State, the Seminoles welcome the No. 19 SMU Mustangs to Doak Campbell Stadium.

The Mustangs are opening their fall slate in Tallahassee, in what should be a rocking environment. Florida State and SMU are the only two college football teams playing on Labor Day.

With just hours remaining before the contest, Florida State released its updated depth chart.

Florida State provided a fresh depth chart with its game notes for the matchup against the Mustangs.

The Seminoles made two changes compared to the initial two-deep from last week, but nothing really significant.

True freshman safety Jordan Crutchfield was removed from the depth chart while dealing with an injury. Senior Donny Hiebert will be the primary backup to Ashlynd Barker at ROVER.

The only other difference is that sophomore safety Antonio Cromartie Jr. has been elevated to a co-backup with K.J. Kirkland behind CJ Richard Jr. at one of the safety spots. Kirkland will be unavailable against SMU.

Check out the full depth chart below.
