The Florida State Seminoles will be without one of their promising young wide receivers, Jayvan Boggs, for the remainder of spring practice. Head coach Mike Norvell announced that Boggs has been dealing with an injury and will not participate in the final stretch of spring workouts.

Why it matters

The Seminoles' wide receiver room has already been dealing with some absences, with Michai Danzy working with the track team and Duce Robinson being limited. Boggs' injury opens up more opportunities for younger and newer receivers to get increased reps and make their case for playing time in the fall.

The details

Boggs saw action in eight games and made four starts last season, finishing with nine catches for 103 yards and a touchdown. Norvell did not provide specifics on the nature or severity of Boggs' injury, but said he will be out for the rest of spring practice. The Seminoles have been looking to players like Devin Carter and Jasen Lopez to step up in the absence of their presumed top receivers.

  • Florida State wrapped up its 11th spring practice on Thursday.
  • The Seminoles have just a few practices remaining before their spring scrimmage on Saturday.

What they’re saying

“Obviously, with Michai in track and Jayvan, he's been out. He's out for the rest of this spring.”

— Mike Norvell, Head Coach

“It's opened the door for the guys that are getting even more reps in those opportunities. So you got some young receivers that I'm really excited about. Some tight ends that I think are showing. Dessirio has been back out, full in full effect, and has looked really good and had a huge play today.”

— Mike Norvell, Head Coach

What’s next

The Seminoles will hold their spring scrimmage on Saturday, April 13, 2026, where they will get a chance to evaluate the wide receiver position further with Boggs sidelined.

The takeaway

Florida State's wide receiver depth has been tested this spring, but the absences of players like Boggs have opened the door for younger and newer receivers to make their case for playing time in the fall. The Seminoles will need to find reliable options at the position to support their offense in the upcoming season.
