It’s still early in Florida State’s spring practices, but true freshman wide receiver Jayvan Boggs is already making a strong impression. His performance is earning recognition from teammates, including veteran defensive back Earl Little Jr., who specifically pointed out Boggs’ ability to create separation, his strength at the top of routes, and even his competitive trash talk.
Boggs’ standout moment isn’t entirely surprising given his record-breaking high school career at Cocoa High School. He put up historic numbers as a senior, including 2,133 receiving yards and 21 touchdowns, nearly setting Florida’s single-season record. His production and physicality appear to be translating well to the college level, making him an exciting piece for FSU’s offense.
Beyond individual performances, there seems to be a culture shift within the program. Little Jr. emphasized the increased competition and energy at practice, something he felt was lacking in 2024. The brotherhood and chemistry among players—fueled by team meetings, workouts, and an all-in mentality—are helping elevate the team’s intensity.
