Florida State football is set to open fall camp this week, kicking off the just-over-a-month journey to the Seminoles’ season opener against New Mexico State.
Coach Mike Norvell met with the media Monday, addressing everything from the health of the team to what he’s seen from starting quarterback Ashton Daniels to the looming five-for-five eligibility changes to freshman receivers Jasen Lopez and Devin Carter.
He opened the news conference by sharing the impressions he’s had from his squad since spring camp wrapped up, saying he’s impressed by the work put in to prep for the start of the season.
“It’s been, it’s been really an enjoyable process for us seeing the guys that have been here, the guys that have grown, developed, guys that have poured years of service into this program,” Norvell said. “As they have matured through it and the work that they’ve poured in, as well as the newcomers, whether it was the over 20 freshmen that joined in January, to the same with the transfers that have come in, I think we really have added a great group of young men, the right mindset, the right approach, you put in an incredible amount of work to put ourselves in position to get started here in fall camp.”
Norvell said his vision for this year’s squad is for it to be player-led and coach-inspired, something star wide receiver Duce Robinson has seen in action already.
“That’s my job is to be here to provide them with structure, to provide them with a standard and inspire them to go be the best that they can be. But at the end of the day, they got to be the ones that are willing to take that, are willing to lead that, are willing to challenge each other. But I mean, that’s what I want. I want a coach-inspired football team that’s player-led.
“It takes everything around the program, on the field, off the field, and we all have our journey and there’s different challenges for a freshman than there is for a fifth-year senior. There’s different challenges for guys that are battling wherever they are in their collegiate career, but being able to have guys who will help them along that are going to be side by side with them as they step on the field. That’s what I think can help define a great team and something that’s necessary.”
Daniels drew praise for his approach to the offseason work, carrying a chip on his shoulder after a career that’s seen plenty of ups and downs.
“I’ve been really pleased with just his mindset and seeing his confidence of what we’re asking him to do,” Norvell said of the Auburn transfer. “Seeing his confidence in what he knows he can do and how that’s really spread throughout just our football team. You can talk about an individual, you can say, ‘Hey, I think he’s going to be this, I think he’s going to be that’ to a team, to guys in a locker room, but when he shows up and he goes and he does it. That’s where it becomes his. He is a tremendous leader in pouring in and building those relationships and then his performance throughout what he was able to do through spring, through the winter workouts building up to it, and then obviously what he’s done throughout the summer. He definitely has the right edge and the things that I want to see from him, and really all players on our team, just to go prove and show all of who they are. He doesn’t need to come and work to be anything different, but I truly believe if he’ll just continue to grow, he’s going to put himself in a position to have a tremendous year.”
The head coach spoke on the trenches on both sides of the ball, first talking about the difference in the cohesiveness of the offensive line in contrast to last season.
“Going into this, this fall camp, I feel a lot better now than where maybe I felt a year ago just within the cohesiveness of a group because of the reps,” Norvell said. “I think going into last year, Luke might have been one of the few guys that actually had a full spring of work and we had all those guys that came in as well as the guys that were returning. You’ve seen the 15 practices, how they were able to really just merge together in the communication, understanding the techniques and some of the finer details of what Coach Hand and what this offense is going to ask of them. I thought they did a really nice job in that, and then you carry that into the summer where even though you’re not getting to go against somebody, you’re still, it’s the technique, the fundamentals, making sure that the efficiency of how we operate, what we do, probably a greater grasp of understanding what the play calls and the different options, but now we got a month of just continuing to clean that up. The execution when you’re facing a variety of different looks when you whenever you have to make those snap decisions, and that’s what fall camp’s going to continue to build upon.”
On the defensive line, he said he’s excited about the “fast, explosive, powerful” talent in the room.
“This would be a group that we want to attack,” he said. “We want to be able to create disruption up front. We feel like we’ve got a really good group of guys that not only can penetrate but also have the playmaking ability to enforce that on the opposing line of scrimmage. It really fits well and the versatility of where guys can line up, what they can do, and the things that Tony’s going to be able to do with them is going to be a, is going to be a really good, a really good fit for this defense.”
Lopez and Carter had major springs, setting them up for the chance to earn playing time this season, with Norvell saying just how much time will be determined by their continued growth.
“These are guys that have potential and ability, they are steadily learning, continuing to, to put in, they are, they are on the fast track to be able to play,” Norvell said. “Just how much that is goes down to, comes down to, their continued growth over the next month.”
As for the health of the team heading into fall, he said wide receiver Jayvan Boggs and linebacker Mikai Gbayor are still working back toward full participation, while true freshman Izayia Williams is fully cleared. Defensive lineman Jordan Sanders, who also missed spring work, will be available without restriction, and defensive lineman Cam Brooks is expected back this season but will be limited early in the year.
Norvell, asked about the potential changes to the eligibility process that would give players five years to play five seasons, said the program is already factoring it into decisions, most specifically lowering the hesitation on putting young players on the field without the burning of a redshirt looming over the decision to do so.
“It’s going to help so much with the roster, as the rosters have trimmed,” he said. “Now all of a sudden, we’re looking at a young man that he might only play four games or you only, maybe it’s not in a position where, hey, playing them in a fifth game and really not have an opportunity for another year could be extremely costly. Well, now having, knowing that you can go and you have that year, as you put yourself in position to go help impact this team, well, you’re going to get your opportunity.”
Later in the same answer, Norvell said he is not approaching this season with a four-game framework in mind.
“Guys, you go get ready to play and you put yourself in that position and, definitely, whatever point in the year that the moment calls for, the guy just has to go be ready,” he said.
The full transcript and press conference can be seen below.
Florida State Football Press Conference: Head coach Mike Norvell, July 27, 2026
HC Mike Norvell: Hi, good morning everybody. I appreciate you being here. As we are one day closer to report day tomorrow, it is ready to get on the field, ready to get to practice. I’m really proud of our guys for the summer work that’s gone in. As we talked at Media Day, a few weeks back, it’s been, it’s been really an enjoyable process for us seeing the guys that have been here, the guys that have grown, developed, guys that have poured years of service into this program, as they have matured through it and the work that they’ve poured in, as well as the newcomers, whether it was the over 20 freshmen that joined in January, to the same with the transfers that have come in, I think we really have added a great group of young men – the right mindset, the right approach, you put in an incredible amount of work to put ourselves in position to get started here in fall camp and we’ve got a lot of work in front of us in our preparation to play in Week 0 game. This team, they’ve done everything that we’ve asked them to do up to this point. In the way they’ve challenged themselves and the sacrifices that they’ve made, now it’s time just to continue to push to get better. Coach (Josh) Storms and his staff have done a really nice job. I feel like we’re in great shape as we’re starting off camp. We, we get to get pads on and all those things here and then within the course of, the next few weeks and building, continuing to build that endurance and building for the way that we want to play with the effort, the relentless mindset approach, and then obviously continuing to build the technique, fundamentals, your physicality, and just overall mental toughness, that, that we aspire to have as we get ready for this season that’s ahead. It’s been a good summer. Guys finished it up well last week, just once again proud of, proud of the work they put in, ready to get started.
QUESTION: What’s the general health of the team and also guys like Jayvan Boggs, Mikai Gbayor, Jordan Sanders, guys who missed portions of the spring or all of the spring, how are they doing?
HC Mike Norvell: Guys are progressing well. There’ll be a few guys that are, that are limited, going in, some guys that will return to play, Boggs, Gbayor, that’s going to be a process of just seeing full, full participation. They’re doing a great job, doing all the things that they can do, been out there running. Coming across, saw Boggs out there, getting in, getting in work. Those guys are, they’re progressing really well. Sanders will be, full, full ready to go, but, those other two guys will, Throughout throughout fall camp, we’ll we’ll see exactly where they are, but definitely both have an open door of opportunity of being ready for the first game, week one, I say week one, for the first, for the first game, but we’ll see how that plays out as we get closer, but like their progress.
Question: We know the returning key players there’s a lot of talk about the transfers coming in, but of the guys who have been here in the past but maybe haven’t had major roles, have you seen anything from those guys this offseason or any that you could point to as guys you’re expecting more from this season?
HC Mike Norvell: I mean, there’s been guys that have played, Daniel Lyons is a guy that stands out on the defensive front. He’s played, he’s been active, but really, you feel every bit of his urgency, and just being a leader, being somebody that’s, I think has a chance to really be impactful to him, Deante McCray, last year played, but really has had a great offseason and what he’s done. Ashlynd Barker, another guy that dealt some injuries last year, but has really emerged this offseason, excited about everything that’s in front of him and the things that he’s kind of put himself in position to be able to do. Landen Thomas is a guy that I’m excited about what I’ve seen; him, Chase (Loftin), Desirrio (Riles). That’s a great, they’re really, a really good group there at the tight end spot. But Landen is a guy that had came in, had early success, dealt with injury last year, really kind of finding positional fit, but just his growth and what he’s been able to do in the offseason, I’ve been pleased with Andre Otto, a guy up front, has had an incredible offseason, and he’s played in games for us, he’s shown the ability and potential, but seeing him really take another step is a guy that I’ve been really pleased with, just throughout this process. Sam Singleton, in the backfield is, he’s had an unbelievable summer, looks as good as he’s looked. I think that group there with him and Ous (Ousmane Kromah) and obviously, Tre (Wisner) coming in, it’s going to be a fun, a fun backfield to watch, but I’ve liked the progression of guys that have been around the program. I mean, it’s easy to talk about Ja’Bril (Rawls), Q (Quindarrius Jones) is another guy that dealt with an injury last year at corner that we have big expectations for, really had a great summer as well. There’s been a really nice nucleus of guys and it does spread around a lot of different positions, which is good just for that overall leadership and guys that have the experience within the program.
Question: Do you think on the offensive side that that (Jasen) Lopez and (Devin) Carter are gonna play for you as true freshmen and maybe play early in the season from what you’ve seen?
HC Mike Norvell: I think you might ask me a question in spring it’s a quick immediate yes, it hasn’t changed. They’ve got to go do it. Once again, what they, what they, Where that role is, is definitely on them, but there’s been nothing that I’ve seen from them. You know, throughout the summer in our workouts, I mean, they are, these are guys that have potential and ability, you know, they are steadily learning, continuing to, to put in, they are, they are on the fast track to be able to play. Just how much that is goes down to, comes down to, their continued growth over the next month. I’m excited about, what I’ve seen from them, definitely high expectations.
Question: Hey coach, you always raved about Ashton Daniels throughout the offseason. For a guy who has really beenunder the radar, how much has he really just embraced being that edge guy, knowing that he feels he has something to prove.
HC Mike Norvell: You know, obviously everybody’s journey is unique to themselves. Ashton played a lot early, a lot earlier in his career, played a good amount of college football games, you have been a starter, you have seen ups and downs this past year where it’s limited your opportunities on field. Just with redshirting and all the things that transpired through that. I’ve been really pleased with just his mindset and seeing his confidence of what we’re asking him to do, seeing his confidence in what he knows he can do and how that’s really spread throughout just our football team. You can talk about an individual, you can say, hey, I think he’s going to be this, I think he’s going to be that to a team, to guys in a locker room, but when he shows up and he goes and he does it. That’s where it becomes his. He is a tremendous leader in pouring in and building those relationships and then his performance throughout what he was able to do through spring, through the winter workouts building up to it, and then obviously what he’s done throughout the summer. I mean, he definitely has the right edge and the things that I want to see from him, and really all players on our team, just to go prove and show all of who they are. He doesn’t need to come and work to be anything different, but I truly believe if he’ll just continue to grow, he’s going to put himself in a position to have a tremendous year.
Question: Ashlynd Barker got to break the rock. It’s someone who I guess had a learning experience at the start of the offseason. How did he go from that to being the guy who exemplified the offseason work you guys put in?
HC Mike Norvell: It’s through his ownership, his ownership of all things. Sometimes we forget that these 18 to 22 year olds, there’s a lot of different situations, whether there’s social media, whether it’s things that are out there. But at the end of the day, you still learn from every experience you grow through the work. I mean, coming off last season, he was a guy that started really well for us, he had some injuries, there were some opportunities where he chose to do the things that were necessary throughout this offseason to go take those steps. I mean, in his daily, his daily regimen of tasks that he’s doing. I mean, it’s whether it’s grabbing younger guys, whether it’s him coming in, getting extra, there’s not a time, I mean, I don’t know of a time this summer where I’m coming in, I get here pretty early and I mean he’s out there doing extra things, whether it’s on a jugs machine, whether it’s film study, whether it’s doing just prep, prepping his body to be the best that he can be. And I mean, during the workouts, you felt him. I mean, he’s, his willingness to challenge everybody, starting with himself by what he was, what he was willing to do, then, if there was something that wasn’t to the standard, I mean, he wasn’t waiting for a coach to correct it or waiting for somebody else. I mean, he was helping call up guys to what, to what that, that desired expectation is. That’s leadership that’s necessary and anybody can find the freshman or somebody that’s new to challenge, but when you’re willing to do that with guys that have been here, the guys that are going to be counted on, I mean, that’s a, he was, that, that was something I thought really stood out for him throughout the course of the summer. Obviously, Josh (Storms) and his staff, I mean, that was a, there’s a guy, there’s some guys that had incredible summers. I don’t, I don’t know if I’ve seen a better Duce Robinson summer. I don’t know if I’ve seen a better summer from a player, and just the things that he was able to do, but, you see, you saw the growth of Ashlynd and, just the way that he worked, the way that he was able to take hold of that opportunity and responsibility, just as a person as well as the player and a guy that wants to be and is stepping towards, what I think could be a great leader.
Question: you’ve long talked about the program being player-led coach-fed. I think we heard from Duce this spring that it’s been player-led coach-inspired. Is there anything different about that? How’s that looked for you guys?
HC Mike Norvell: That’s how I’ve pretty much said through my coaching career, I want to inspire the players. That’s my job is to be here to provide them with structure, to provide them with a standard and inspire them to go be the best that they can be. But at the end of the day, they got to be the ones that are willing to take that, or willing to lead that are willing to challenge each other. But I mean, that’s what I want. I want a coach-inspired football team that’s player-led. If they can embody that, just the previous question with a guy like Ashlynd (Barker) that being player-led, it takes more than just when they’re stepping on the field. It takes everything around the program, on the field, off the field, and we all have our journey and there’s different challenges for a freshman than there is for a fifth-year senior. There’s different challenges for guys that are battling wherever they are in their collegiate career, but being able to have guys who will help them along that are going to be side by side with them as they step on the field. That’s what I think can help define a great team and something that’s necessary. Duce is a guy that I’ve mentioned, his, you feel his DNA on this team. He’s one of the best young men that I’ve got an opportunity to coach, and just the character, mindset, work ethic, but then also he’s just a tremendous player that’s willing to pour everything he has into the days provided. And so, I think that definitely has helped the leadership within this football team.
Question: Ashton (Daniels) mentioned at ACC kickoff that you were asking him to get on the whiteboard and draw out some things that he liked in doing in terms of the quick game passing and stuff like that. Just what have you tried to learn in terms of the lessons that you brought from bringing in transfer quarterbacks the last couple of years and what’s that process been like with Ashton in terms of building the offense together?
HC Mike Norvell: With all quarterbacks, obviously, I did the same thing with Kevin (Sperry) and then obviously, as we sit there and go and as Malachi (Marshall) is coming in. When you have a quarterback comes in, it’s always great as a guy that’s gonna call plays and as you’re putting together an offense of myself, Tim (Harris Jr.), you want to make sure that you’re playing. Playing to the strengths of a quarterback of what they see, I mean, there’s a lot of concepts you can draw up, but making sure that as you have an understanding of how they see, how they process, and that’s always been big for me. And every quarterback’s going to be different. And ultimately, there’s things that you, that, the supporting cast around the quarterback is going to give you a lot of flexibility, especially with this group and the things that I believe that they can do, but making sure that with the guys that are taking snaps, I mean, that you always have a great sense of what that looks like, how they’re going to process, what are the things that are might, might be a little bit quicker for them and I think you’regetting that information just helps build the relationship and the things that you might ask somebody to do when you have a better understanding of just what they’ve come up through.
Question: The defensive line seems to be a smaller but quicker group than maybe you had last year. How does that play into what Tony White and you want to do defensively?
HC Mike Norvell: This is a group I’m excited about and there’s been some great gains throughout it. Just in size, strength, but when you look at the body times fast, explosive, and powerful, I mean this would be a group that we want to attack, we want to be able to create disruption up front. We feel like we’ve got a really good group of guys that not only can penetrate but also have the playmaking ability to enforce that on the opposing line of scrimmage. It really fits well and the versatility of where guys can line up, what they can do, and the things that Tony’s going to be able to do with them is going to be a, is gonna be a really good, a really good fit for this defense. And as that couples back to linebackers and DBs and how all that plays, with fitting 11 guys playing as one. It’s an exciting group and there’s, we don’t have a ton of the 340 pounders, but ultimately we’ve got fast, explosive, powerful, we got guys. I’m excited about Juju Wynn and what he’s been able to do with his body. He was a 340-350 pounder when he got here. Now, he’s about 320, Jordan Sanders, the guy that’s pushing 310, Deante McCray’s over 300, that, and just in his growth of 295, 300. And seeing some of those guys that, Mandrell (Desir) and just the physical development of that group, getting a Tae (Deamontae) Diggs back is, is a guy that I think is, is going to be another impactful guy that I’m excited about. So I think it’s a really, a really good group that’s going to fit well.
Question: On the other side of the ball with the offensive line, you talked about it in the spring of just these guys got to get reps together, communication, it’s the 2nd year of rebuilding it through the portal. When you look at preseason, what are you expecting from these guys how have you seen them mesh since the last time we saw them in spring?
HC Mike Norvell: Going into this, this fall camp, I feel a lot better now than where maybe I felt a year ago just within the cohesiveness of a group because of the reps. I think going into last year, Luke (Petitbon) might have been one of the few guys that actually had a full spring of work and we had all those guys that came in as well as the guys that were returning, you’ve seen the 15 practices, how they were able to really just merge together in the communication, understanding the techniques and some of the finer details of what Coach (Herb) Hand and what this offense is gonna ask of them. I thought they did a really nice job in that, and then you carry that into the summer where even though you’re not getting to go against somebody, you’re still, it’s the technique, the fundamentals, making sure that the efficiency of how we operate, what we do, probably a greater grasp of understanding what the play calls and the different options, but now we got a month of just continuing to clean that up. The execution when you’re facing a variety of different looks when you whenever you have to make those snap decisions, and that’s what fall camp’s gonna continue to build upon. But I feel, I feel really good about the group of guys we have up front, the continued competition, of what’s there, but I’ve actually got to see them for the last 7-8 months that, they’re working together.
Question: Coach, what would you like to see from the team in terms of bonding over the next month, as you gear up for the New Mexico State game as you go into camp, what would you like to see collectively?
HC Mike Norvell: Continuing to grow through challenge. It’s continuing to grow through successes that they’re gonna have in practice, as they compete with each other. That’s been an ongoing process from the first day of January when we started, this team has really done a great job and we’ve tried to be proactive in helping facilitate those relationships, any opportunities that we can, just with those guys being able to get to know, get to a better sense of each of their stories, their why, whether they’ve been here for 4 years together or whether they’re in their first season being a Seminole. That is a continued process and I think back to even years ago when you have guys that joined the program, I mean, you build those relationships, you spend time, but then it’s an ongoing process throughout the season because every game is going to throw different circumstances at you and what you can rely back on with each other, how you can see guys support you throughout that process. It really is a great opportunity to put that on display.
Question: Izayia Williams a few other freshmen that came in kind of banged up, a junior college transfer linebacker too. Any chance any of them, Jaden O’Neal, Cam Brooks, those guys will be able to do anything?
HC Mike Norvell: Izayia came in, he’s fully cleared. I mean, he definitely looks the part. I’m excited to see him out practice, he’ll be ready to go. Chris (Thomas), we knew coming in, this would be a process that just going, continuing to rehab, continue to work. I like what I’m seeing. He’s done a great job just physically, in his development. He was a guy that coached him, really, throughout the process of just the mindset, the approach, and seeing him here in person. We’ll see how that unfolds throughout the course of camp. Cam Brooks, we will expect back this year. He will be obviously limited in the first part of the season, just in his return, but he was a guy that I was excited about what I saw early, and I mean, he is, I mean, he is, you feel his urgency, just in how he’s gone about his business. Because he obviously had a winter program setback, but I’m definitely excited about the way that he’s going about, learning, and I think he’ll have a chance to hopefully be able to impact us at, at some point here, for this this season.
Question: The coaching staff, I know you just had your retreat. You’ve been around them obviously all summer, but, it’s, there’s a lot of changes on this coaching staff, you also just brought in Coach (Tom) Herman, is there anything stand out about the way the dynamic changing at all with the changes to this coaching staff?
HC Mike Norvell: Anytime you make changes or anytime that you are able to add guys that can greatly impact, a staff, a football team. I mean, it’s just, it’s the same as players. I mean, you, you sit there and it’s, it’s about coming together. It’s about making sure that we can be, you know, as efficient and effective in our jobs, our responsibilities and making sure that we’re, you know, working together to, you know, put forth the best, the best product for, for these players to be able to go and execute as well as, you know, as the ways that, as we adjust to, to different circumstances or you’ll be able to hear a different perspective of, of, you know, how, how a coach sees something or, or maybe a different way of, of implementation. As they’re growing to the ways that, that we, you know, do, whether it’s offensively, defensive, special teams. So, you know,I’ve, I’ve really, enjoyed the way the, the staff has worked and, and the, the cohesiveness of what they’ve built and then you also see guys that are going into their 2nd year or multiple years within the program and just the confidence in, and knowing what it’s going to look like, you know, you know, not, not waiting to have to react to a first time going through something. So that’s really been beneficial for even some of the new coaches, just you’re having that, that guidance with guys that have been here.
Question: Coach, over the years, summer workouts, how have they changed? It’s where the players have more time together, you coaches have some more time with them.
HC Mike Norvell: No, it’s been a couple of years ago where they allowed us to be able to go out and you can’t go offense versus defense. You can’t go against each other in regards to running plays, but to be able to go out there and to do things on air, to be able to have a football. I think one of the greatest things is being able to be out there with a quarterback and a receiver and watch them throw. I mean, it’s just, I know it’s a pretty basic thing, but in years past, I mean, you would wait till Wednesday would be the first time that we’d actually get to see them go out there and throw and catch and how they are, but now at least being able to run plays on air, being able to get going through installations, being able to kind of build the knowledge of what we’re going to do, give them a few situations, and then now it’s going to come down to the repetition of going against somebody right as we go through fall camp and you build the physicality you build it. It’s great being able to go through the process of getting on the field with them, going through the meetings, taking a great emphasis in the fundamentals and the things that they’re going to be asked to do, and then building that foundation as we jump into fall camp.
Question: Coach, a bit off topic of the subject of football, but a few of your guys have probably had a more eventful month than Jayden Todd and obviously the story of him. Helping save that man’s life in Citrus County. Just when you first heard about that story, just what, what did it mean and what was your first reaction and to have a guy like Jayden, does it surprise you at all that he was able to hop in and do what he did?
HC Mike Norvell: It’s really not surprising. You never, you never know when the moment’s going to show up. For those who don’t know, there was a gentleman that had a medical emergency found himself in the water with not being able to get anybody, nobody there, to be able to physically get him to a safe place. Jayden jumped in, was able to get the gentleman up out of the water to be able to have a life-saving opportunity. The willingness to act. As you go through life, there’s a lot of choices you get to make when the moment shows up, you gotta be willing to take the step, you gotta be prepared for that moment I was just so proud of Jayden. Even with that, it’s a great success story, but there’s so much emotion that goes with that also being there to support him for what he just, he was a, he helped save a man’s life then, managing all, all of it that, that comes with, just being that, it was a lot, but I’m so grateful for the coverage of this story because that was, I mean, it’s. Life is very fragile, when you get a chance to be a difference maker for somebody else, it’s a, it is pretty special. No, I was just, grateful for, for Jayden being there being able to be the difference maker for that, for that, for that man.
Question: How much different when you’re talking to players, whether they’re in the portal, recruits, coaches, the 5 for 5, what impact will that make on college football? We all are proceeding it’s going to be passed. Does it maybe stress a little more patience with a young guy that’s not playing early that, hey man, you’re sure gonna have 4 years to really make a mark?
HC Mike Norvell: It’s going to help much with the roster, as the rosters have trimmed, now all of a sudden, we’re looking at a young man that he might only play 4 games or you only, maybe it’s not in a position where, hey, playing them in a 5th game and really not have an opportunity for another year could be extremely costly. Well, if you have injuries at certain positions and then, the balancing act of that, well, now having, knowing that you can go and you have that year, to be able to, You know, as you put yourself in position to go help impact this team, well, you’re going to get, get your opportunity.
