Now, wide receiver Peter Warrick and kicker Sebastian Janikowski have an opportunity to join them when the official announcement is made early next year. The 2025 College Football Hall of Fame class will be inducted on December 9, 2025, at the Bellagio Hotel & Resort in Las Vegas. The Seminoles have nine players (Warrick Dunn, Marvin Jones Sr., Terrell Buckley, Derrick Brooks, Deion Sanders, Ron Simmons, Charlie Ward, Fred Biletnikoff, Ron Sellers) and two coaches (Bobby Bowden, Darrell Mudra) in the Hall of Fame after Warrick Dunn was elected in January.

Warrick and Janikowski were both back-to-back first-team All-American selections in 1998-99 and helped deliver Florida State a National Championship victory against Virginia Tech in the 2000 Sugar Bowl.

Janikowski is tied for first in field goals during a single season while ranking third in all-time field goal percentage.
