Updated Florida State Spring Roster: New players, jersey number switches, more
The Florida State football roster for the spring semester was updated on Friday, and there are a slew of new players, jersey number changes and one departure.
Thirteen early enrollees from the Seminoles’ highly touted freshman class are on the roster, led by quarterback Luke Kromenhoek and several other blue-chip prospects. There also are 14 transfers additions, including five from Alabama. And a number of Florida State veterans have changed their jersey numbers.

The lone unannounced departure is offensive lineman Kanaya Charlton, who signed with Florida State in 2022 out of Brunswick, Ga., but has had a difficult time moving up the depth chart. He is no longer with the Seminoles.
Below is the complete updated roster with notes on jersey number changes, key stats and other information. For the early enrollees, each player’s On3 Industry Ranking is used, unless otherwise noted.
