NFL draft prospects 2027: Players to watch for Florida State vs. Miami

The Florida in-state rivalry heats up this weekend as the Florida State Seminoles travel to face the Miami Hurricanes in a matchup carrying significant local pride. For Seminoles fans, the game spotlights several NFL draft prospects who could be in line for future professional opportunities.

Senior wide receiver Duce Robinson stands out as a towering target at 6-foot-6 and 230 pounds, using his size to dominate contested catches rather than relying on speed. Though his route-running precision could improve, his ability to secure passes in tight windows makes him a promising possession receiver and redzone threat, likely a mid-round draft pick in 2027.

On defense, Florida State’s cornerback duo—junior Charles Lester III and senior Ja’Bril Rawls—offer intriguing developmental potential. Lester, at 6-foot-2 and 195 pounds, needs to refine his technique against quicker receivers, while Rawls, a versatile 6-foot-1, 180-pound cornerback, could transition to safety if his strength improves.

Both players are projected as late-round picks but could rise if they showcase further progress this season. Meanwhile, running back Quintrevion Wisner, a transfer from Texas, returns after a hamstring injury limited him to nine games last year.

Though he rushed for 1,064 yards in 2024, his role this season remains uncertain as he works to regain his pre-injury form.
