TALLAHASSEE – First-team All-ACC wide receiver Duce Robinson announced Thursday that he will forgo entering the 2026 NFL Draft and remain at Florida State for his senior season.
In his first season as a Seminole, the Phoenix native earned first-team All-ACC honors, receiving more votes than any player, and was a Biletnikoff Award semifinalist after catching 56 passes for 1,081 yards and six touchdowns in 2025. He became Florida State's first 1,000-yard receiver since 2019 and produced the 14th 1,000-yard season in program history.
Robinson ranked ninth nationally after the regular season in receiving yards, and his five 120-yard games were the most among P4 receivers, second nationally and the most at FSU since 2014. Robinson averaged 19.30 yards per reception, second in the ACC behind only teammate Micahi Danzy.
Robinson averaged 102.8 receiving yards over eight ACC games in 2025, best in the league and 12 yards better than the next-best receiver. In the regular season, Robinson led the conference with 17 20-yard catches, 12 30-yard receptions and six 40-yard grabs.
A two-time ACC Receiver of the Week, Robinson earned his first honor against East Texas A&M, when he caught five passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns. His 82-yard touchdown was FSU's longest play of the season and the longest catch of his career, and he added a 42-yard touchdown later in the first quarter. His 160 receiving yards in the first quarter were the most nationally in a quarter in 2025, and his 173 receiving yards in the first half were the most at Florida State this century.
Robinson also earned ACC weekly honors against Wake Forest after catching five passes for 148 yards and one touchdown. Robinson caught a career-high nine passes for 147 yards and one touchdown at Virginia and added nine catches for 124 yards at Clemson. In the home finale against Virginia Tech, Robinson led FSU with six catches for 134 yards, including a 50-yard touchdown.
Robinson and Florida State open the 2026 season on August 29 against New Mexico State in Doak Campbell Stadium.
