Transfer wide receiver Duce Robinson has signed with Florida State, head coach Mike Norvell announced Sunday.

"I'm excited to welcome Duce Robinson into the Nole Family,” Norvell said. “He is one of the most unique and explosive playmakers in the country. Duce brings tremendous versatility with where he can align, as well as the ability to stretch the field at his size. This creates opportunities for incredible matchup problems for opposing defenses. We hit a home run bringing a young man who was born to be a Nole back home."
