FSU Football 2025 Roster Projection: 'Noles over 105 limit but does it matter?

At least eight walk-ons who were on Florida State's roster last fall are no longer with the program. Many of them never officially entered the portal.

Based on how the Seminoles operated this spring, it appears they aren't too worried about being over the 105 limit. Florida State has a projected 107 players on the roster which breaks down to 52 on offense, 48 on defense, and 7 specialists.

This is going to be a young team next fall. 60.9% of the roster will be underclassmen (freshmen or sophomores) entering the season. Head coach Mike Norvell and his staff are going to need inexperienced and unproven players to step up in a big way for Florida State.

Let's take a look at the projected roster and where the numbers stand going into the summer.
