TALLAHASSEE – Florida State senior wide receiver Duce Robinson is a nominee for the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team, which recognizes players making a difference in their communities.
Robinson, from Phoenix, is actively involved in the Tallahassee community, participating in community initiatives including Next Level Flag Football, an organization that serves kids through seventh grade with the goal of helping children learn skills and develop a passion for football.
Robinson also served as one of Florida State's representatives during FSU Day at the Capitol and was a panelist for Horizons Unlimited, speaking to first-generation students for a panel titled "Success through Adversity: Strategies through Athletics." Additionally, Robinson participated in Literacy Week at Astoria Park Elementary in January, partnered with the Keep Climbing Family Foundation for a winter coat drive at Astoria Park and donated and distributed turkeys with Legends Hospitality and former Seminole Micah Pettus for Thanksgiving last year.
Recognized with the Bill McGrotha Award following the 2025 season for his humanitarian efforts, Robinson will host The Duce Robinson Charity Pickleball Classic on July 23. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Special Olympics of Florida.
"I've always felt a kinship to the Special Olympics," Robinson said last week at ACC Kickoff in Charlotte. "Since high school, a lot of our managers had been part of the Special Olympics and I know how much sports means to them. Seeing that, growing up around that, made me close to it."
On the field, Robinson was a first-team All-ACC wide receiver and third-team All-American in 2025, catching 56 passes for 1,081 yards and six touchdowns. He was twice named ACC Receiver of the Week and was a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award, named after Florida State All-American Fred Biletnikoff and presented to the nation's best receiver.
Robinson is looking to become the 10th Seminole named to the Good Works Team. Along with Robinson's former teammate Richie Leonard IV earning the honor last season, previous FSU winners include Dillan Gibbons (2022), Camren McDonald (2021), Mavin Saunders (2017), Alec Eberle (2016), Christian Ponder (2010), Sam Cowart (1996), Wayne Messam (1995) and Corey Fuller (1992).
Robinson and the Seminoles will open the 2026 season August 29 at 7:00 p.m. against New Mexico State inside Doak Campbell Stadium.
