The Florida State Seminoles are back in action for their third game of the 2025 season. Following an early BYE week, FSU is moving into its next non-conference matchup as the Kent State Golden Flashes travel to Tallahassee on Saturday afternoon.

The Seminoles will carry a No. 7 ranking into the home contest this weekend. Meanwhile, Kent State has dropped 24 consecutive games to FBS opponents, including a 62-14 thrashing to No. 17 Texas Tech.

Like with Texas A&M earlier this month, this is a game Florida State should handle with relative ease. The main concerns will be escaping without any injuries and getting plenty of playing time for younger members of the roster.

The Seminoles are heavy favorites entering their third consecutive home game in Doak Campbell Stadium.

To kick off the week, Florida State released its weekly depth chart. After the week off, there were a few changes to note.

FSU Releases Depth Chart For Matchup With Kent State

On Monday, the Seminoles unveiled their two-deep for the matchup against Kent State.

Florida State made a couple of changes, primarily on offense.

It appears junior tight end Randy Pittman Jr. is unlikely to play this weekend. He's no longer on the depth chart with redshirt senior Markeston Douglas and sophomores, Landen Thomas and Amaree Williams, listed as co-starters. Williams was the first tight end on the field against East Texas A&M.

Along the offensive line, Florida State has settled on its starting five. After beginning the season as a co-starter at both guard spots, redshirt senior Jacob Rizy is now a backup to left guard Richie Leonard IV and right guard Adrian Medley. Redshirt sophomore Andre' Otto is a co-backup with Rizy behind Leonard IV.

On defense, the only noteworthy change was junior cornerback Quindarrius Jones earning the primary backup spot behind redshirt sophomore Ja'Bril Rawls. Redshirt freshman Charles Lester III has moved to the other side as the co-backup with true freshman Shamar Arnoux behind senior Jerry Wilson.

Redshirt senior running back Roydell Williams is still missing from the depth chart. Williams has been dealing with an injury since the win over Alabama.
