OTB: Football season set to (ACC) Kickoff + Recruiting Class Grades

The countdown of Florida State’s 40 Most Important Players for the 2026 season has concluded. Diving into the yearly exercise is always worthwhile to get a better sense of the roster and how we perceive strengths and weaknesses.

This list was highlighted by a crystalizing moment midway through sifting among the candidates as it felt like depth fell off a cliff. 

It was an interesting experience to discover in real-time. This is what we came up with as Trey Rowland led the charge, Brendan Sonnone set the parameters, and the X’s and Noles fellas sorted the order with Kolby Crawford chiming in.

Here’s a listen to how we composed the 40 Most Important Players.
