Ashton Daniels Takes Over at FSU | Auburn Tigers Football News

Ashton Daniels is officially Florida State’s starting quarterback for 2026, stepping into the role after Thomas Castellanos exits to pursue legal action and transfer eligibility. With Coach Mike Norvell raving about Daniels’ poise, accuracy, and clutch decision-making — especially on third downs — the Seminoles are banking on him to lead them through a brutal early schedule against Alabama and SMU. Entering his fifth and final year of eligibility, Daniels, now on his third college team, is reportedly set to earn a massive payday — possibly over $1.5 million — signaling high expectations. His time at Auburn paved the way, and with FSU in need of stability after recent struggles, Daniels could be the spark that reignites a historic program.
