The most electric receiver in Florida State history is now a Hall of Famer.

All-American Peter Warrick will be the Seminoles' 12th Hall of Fame inductee, an announcement that was made as part of the 2026 class by the National Football Foundation on Wednesday.

Warrick was a two-time consensus All-American, racking up 3,517 receiving yards (second on FSU's all-time list) and 32 touchdowns (No. 1 all-time at FSU). He had 207 receptions from 1996-99 and 15 100-yard games.

In 2010, Warrick was inducted into FSU's Hall of Fame. He had his jersey retired in 2018 and was a member of the ACC's 50th anniversary team in 2002.

One of his best performances came in the national title game in 1999. Warrick had six catches for 163 yards and two touchdowns, adding a 59-yard punt return for a touchdown, as FSU finished off a perfect season with a 46-29 win over Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl.

Warrick joins a long list of college hall of famers who played or coached at FSU:

Ron Sellers (1988) Fred Biletnikoff (1991) Darrell Mudra (2000) Bobby Bowden (2006) Charlie Ward (2006) Ron Simmons (2009) Deion Sanders (2011) Derrick Brooks (2016) Terrell Buckley (2019) Marvin Jones (2022) Warrick Dunn (2024)

To be eligible for the College Football Hall of Fame, players must have received first-team All-America recognition, be 10 years removed from their final college football season and have completed their professional football career. The evaluation also includes candidates' records as a citizen and academic honors.

The 68th NFF Annual Awards Dinner and Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be held December 8, 2026, at the Bellagio Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. The NFF will recognize Warrick during a game at Doak Campbell Stadium in 2026.
