Florida State releases depth chart for Week 1 matchup against SMU
Summary

The Florida State Seminoles released their official depth chart ahead of their Week 1 contest against the SMU Mustangs at Doak Campbell Stadium. The game is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on ESPN. While the offensive two-deep remains consistent with the team's previous outing, the defense features several adjustments stemming from recent injury reports. Linebacker Blake Nichelson is listed as a co-starter but is sidelined for the game, while K.J. Kirkland and Jordan Crutchfield also appear on the team's availability report as out or doubtful. Donny Heibert steps into a larger role at rover, and Antonio Cromartie Jr. enters the rotation at safety. This Monday night game marks the conclusion of the Week 1 college football schedule.
