Florida State football prepares for first preseason scrimmage at Doak Campbell Stadium

Florida State football is set to hold its first preseason scrimmage at Doak Campbell Stadium on August 4, 2026. This marks the team's return to the venue for the first time this year after weather issues hindered prior scrimmages. The event will be essential for the 57 new players on the roster, including starting quarterback Ashton Daniels, who will debut in a game-like setting. Coaches are particularly interested in observing leadership qualities from the quarterbacks and how the team's offense adapts to a new defense under Tony White. A follow-up scrimmage is scheduled for August 9 after additional practice sessions in Jacksonville.
