TALLAHASSEE – Florida State senior wide receiver Duce Robinson added to his 2026 preseason honors Wednesday when he was named to the Biletnikoff Award Watch List. Presented to college football's outstanding FBS receiver, the Biletnikoff Award is named for former Florida State All-American and NFL Hall of Fame receiver Fred Biletnikoff.
One of the nation's top returning wide receivers, Robinson is also on the watch lists for the Walter Camp Player of the Year Award, the Maxwell Award and the Wuerffel Trophy while also being a nominee for the AFCA Good Works Team.
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.
Robinson would be Florida State's first Biletnikoff Award winner and fourth finalist, joining Peter Warrick in 1998 and 1999 and Snoop Minnis in 2000. The Biletnikoff Award is presented by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club, Inc., and will be announced on ESPN during The Home Depot College Football Awards on December 10.
The Seminoles will open the 2026 season August 29 at 7:00 p.m. against New Mexico State inside Doak Campbell Stadium.
