The Florida State Seminoles have picked their starting quarterback for the 2026 season.
It was always assumed that Ashton Daniels would end up being the starter. That’s why he transferred to Tallahassee after spending last season with the Auburn Tigers and the last three with the Stanford Cardinal.
A redshirt senior from Buford, Georgia, Daniels brings a lot of experience to the table for the Seminoles. He’s also a dual-threat quarterback, which is what head coach Mike Norvell looks for in his starter.
With that said, redshirt freshman quarterback Kevin Sperry gave Daniels a run for his money this spring. So much so that Norvell wasn’t ready to name a starting quarterback at the end of spring practices.
Norvell needed some time, apparently, but now that he’s gotten it — he’s given Daniels the edge and the starting nod, according to Andrea Adelson of ESPN.
