TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida State safety Jammie Robinson announced Sunday that he's forgoing his final season of eligibility and declaring for the NFL Draft.

"After careful thought, I have decided to turn the page and start a new chapter," Robinson wrote in a post shared on Twitter.

Robinson, who transferred to Florida State from South Carolina before the 2021 season, earned first-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference honors in each of his two seasons with the Seminoles.

He's the first Florida State defensive player to earn consecutive first-team All-ACC recognition since former first-round draft pick Jalen Ramsey did so in 2014 and 2015.

The Georgia native has led the Seminoles in tackles since his arrival. Robinson had 42 solo tackles in 2021 and 46 this season. He also has five interceptions since 2021.

Robinson becomes the first Florida State player from the 2022 season to declare early for the NFL Draft.

The No. 13 Seminoles defeated Oklahoma 35-32 in the Cheez-It Bowl to win 10 games for the first time since 2016.
