Florida State dismissed freshman cornerback Chuck Kennon for conduct detrimental to the team, a university spokesperson confirmed. Kennon was the highest-rated signee in the Seminoles’ 2026 recruiting class and had attracted offers from several major programs, but he played just one snap this season, against Virginia. His departure comes as Florida State prepares to face unbeaten Miami, though his limited playing time means it is unlikely to significantly affect the immediate game plan.

Whatever Kennon did must have been serious if they cut him after just one snap this year.
