Florida State Seminoles

The Florida State Seminoles are in the hunt for their next quarterback heading into the 2026 season and believe they have found their QB1 in Auburn transfer Ashton Daniels.

However, with the departures of Brock Glenn (NCAA Transfer Portal), Jaylen King (NCAA Transfer Portal), and Tommy Castellanos (NFL Draft), the quarterback room has thinned out. The Seminoles intend to change that and are looking at the JUCO ranks.

FSU offered rising redshirt junior Tre Guerra on Tuesday, who transferred from Central Arkansas to play for the Apaches, where he helped lead Tyler to an 11-1 record in 2025 and a NJCAA playoff semi-final appearance.

Guerra threw for 2,811 yards and 24 touchdowns against 14 interceptions, completing 62.2 percent of his passes last season. The 6-foot-2, 195-pound Keller, Texas native has recently received offers from SEC programs such as Kentucky and Arkansas, as well as additional offers from Texas Tech and Southern Miss.

Landing another talented signal caller will need to be a priority if the Seminoles wish to rebound from back-to-back losing seasons. Guerra could add healthy competition to an already depleted quarterback room.

At this time, Daniels, redshirt freshman Kevin Sperry, and incoming true freshman Jaden O'Neal are the only quarterbacks on the roster.
