Florida State Football Dismisses Top Recruit Chuck Kennon After Felony Arrest

Chuck Kennon played only one snap this season before Florida State dismissed the freshman cornerback for conduct detrimental to the team.

  • On Tuesday, Florida State dismissed freshman cornerback Chuck Kennon from the football program, citing conduct deemed detrimental to the team.
  • Kennon arrived in Tallahassee as the Seminoles' top-rated recruit in the 2026 class but played only one snap this season, appearing against Virginia on Oct. 3.
  • The 6-foot-2, 175-pound defensive back chose Florida State over Georgia, LSU, Miami, Oregon, and Florida, making him a highly coveted prospect in the recruiting class.
  • His departure leaves the Seminoles with reduced secondary depth as the team prepares for a critical rivalry matchup against unbeaten Miami on Saturday.
  • Since winning the ACC title in 2023, Florida State has posted a 4-15 conference record and has not won a regular-season road game since beating Florida on Nov. 25, 2023.
