With two weeks until the season opener, there’s a clear understanding of the top of Florida State’s receiver depth chart: Duce Robinson, Squirrel White and Jayvan Boggs have impressed.

But there’s also a big question about the depth at the position, as younger receivers have had moments but haven’t delivered day in and day out during camp.

In his first comments during camp, receivers coach Tim Harris took the opportunity Saturday to field questions about every option in the room. When asked about a large group of second-year receivers — Elijah Moore, Lawayne McCoy, B.J. Gibson, Camdon Frier and converted running back Micahi Danzy — Harris took time to cite something from each that he liked but began by saying, “You want to see that consistency though.”

There is an urgency to the development of receiving options, especially given the proximity to the Alabama game and the number of injuries in the room. Coach Mike Norvell also mentioned that White would be limited next week, and the Tennessee transfer told the media in the spring that he was sidelined for a chunk of spring practice. Norvell added that he felt White would be good going into the Alabama game.

Harris said he felt FSU would likely rotate five or six receivers in games, which opens the door for a few options. UNC transfer Gavin Blackwell had been limited due to injury, Norvell said, but he is now back.

The positives are clear as Robinson has been the transfer FSU’s coaches thought he could be, while Boggs has also emerged as a reliable option early in his career.

Robinson has been a leader in the room, and a receiver who has impressed in practices.

“Super high ceiling. He has goals, and we have goals right along with him of what he could be,” Harris said. “What I'm most impressed with Duce is he's not a guy that just talks it. You get some kids, when you talk to them, they tell you they want to do certain things, but you don't see that work ethic that comes behind it. You see that with him. He's very proactive in how he’s trying to develop as a receiver. And we’ve just been super impressed with him from the moment we stepped in this building.

“He gives all of himself into being the very best that he can be. You've seen it in his game. From spring football to right now when you watch a practice, he's developing that dominant mentality. And he's seeing as the days go that if he's playing at the top of this game, he can give guys a lot of problems.”

Boggs has been viewed as having a professional mindset by teammates and coaches, a trait he picked up from his dad. How he has worked and developed, from Cocoa High to now FSU, has put him in a position to contribute at FSU early. Harris called Boggs “super advanced.”

“I think the biggest thing with him is the maturity,” Harris said. “He really handles his business. … He's going to practice very detailed. You watch his growth from spring football to right now. I think the biggest jump that he's made is his ability to play without the ball, and not just when he's engaged in a block. Ball skills are some of the best that that I've seen, and you've seen that on a consistent basis.”

Among the younger receivers, Harris said he has been proud of Danzy for how he performed on the track in the spring — an FSU record and ACC record 44.38 in the 400 meters — and then worked his way back from an injury that kept him from performing in the NCAA Outdoors. Plus, of course, continuing to develop at receiver after working at running back as a freshman.

“He has been a kid that played running back his whole life. You play the game totally different on the perimeter,” Harris said. “I still don't think he knows how good he can be, but he's seen it every day, because every time you get opportunities, he's standing out. So I'm super proud of where he is. He's taking coaching, and he's a lot more physical player on the perimeter than you would think.”

Injury update

Norvell provided a few updated on a number of players who had been limited as well as their returns to the field.

Tight end Landen Thomas had a “late summer injury” and Saturday was his first practice back. “He made a couple spectacular plays,” Norvell said.

Blackwell has returned to practice after missing between 10 days and two weeks, Norvell said.

Quarterback Brock Glenn “has been limited throughout fall camp” but Norvell said he is expected to return to practice this coming week. “Having him back in the mix will be good,” Norvell said.

Defensive tackle Kevin Wynn is injured, and Norvell said it could stretch deeper into preparations for Alabama.

Coming up

FSU will take Sunday off and return to the field Monday. Norvell said Monday’s practice would include situations like a two-minute drill as well as special teams. But then the page turns from camp to Alabama preparations on Tuesday as “it’s game week in our mindset.”
