Florida State and the National Football Foundation will jointly honor 2026 College Football Hall of Fame electee Peter Warrick during the Seminoles’ game on Oct. 31 against Clemson. The Hall of Fame On-Campus Salute is the first of many activities recognizing the NFF Hall of Fame Class of 2026.
 
Announced in January as Florida State’s 12th Hall of Fame electee, Warrick joins his former head coach Bobby Bowden (inducted in 2006) and teammate Warrick Dunn (2024) in the College Football Hall of Fame. FSU's other inductees include Marvin Jones (2022), Terrell Buckley (2019), Derrick Brooks (2016), Deion Sanders (2011), Ron Simmons (2009), Charlie Ward (2006), head coach Darrell Mudra (2000), Fred Biletnikoff (1991) and Ron Sellers (1988).
 
The NFF Hall of Fame On-Campus Salute is the first of numerous activities in the NFF Hall of Fame experience. During the NFF Hall of Fame On-Campus Salute, each electee returns to his respective school to accept an NFF Hall of Fame plaque that will stay on permanent display at the institution. The events take place during a home game and provide NFF Hall of Famers with one more chance to take the field and be recognized in front of their home crowd.
 
Warrick played at Florida State from 1996-99 after redshirting in 1995. A two-time consensus All-American during his career, Warrick still holds the FSU record with 32 career receiving touchdowns. His 3,517 career receiving yards were the most in ACC history and ranked second on FSU's all-time list, and Warrick also ranked second in program history with 207 receptions, 15 100-yard receiving games and an average of 4.81 receptions per game. The Bradenton, Florida, native was inducted into the FSU Athletics Hall of Fame in 2010, had his jersey retired by FSU in 2018 and was a member of the ACC's 50th Anniversary Team in 2002.

One of the most electrifying players in college football history, Warrick helped lead the Seminoles to a 45-4 record and the 1999 national championship in his FSU career. He was named MVP of the national title game, a 46-29 victory over Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl, after catching six passes for 163 yards and two touchdowns while adding another score on a 59-yard punt return. His performance helped the 1999 team become the only team in college football history to go wire-to-wire as the No. 1 team in the nation.
 
Florida State kicks off the 2026 season on August 29 against New Mexico State. Tickets can be purchased at Seminoles.com/tickets.
 
The 68th NFF Annual Awards Dinner and Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be held December 8 at the Bellagio Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
