FSU wide receiver, cornerback make impressive plays in practice

The FSU Seminoles wrapped up their annual trip to the University of North Florida on Saturday as they prepare for their second scrimmage of fall camp. They released some highlights from Saturday’s practice, and a pair of true freshmen made two nice plays.

Wide receiver Jasen Lopez, who has been one of the stars of camp, made another excellent catch. This time he used just one hand to snag a perfectly thrown ball from quarterback Kevin Sperry that the defender never even saw. He ended up right next to former FSU quarterback Jordan Travis after the play, who dapped him up after the impressive catch.

The defense also made some great plays, with cornerback Chuck Kenon making a leaping interception of a pass that was intended for freshman wide receiver Darryon Williams.

It was the second excellent catch by Lopez that FSU highlighted on social media. He made a contested catch over cornerback Charles Lester III and safety CJ Richard Jr. on Thursday. He has received plenty of praise from the coaching staff since joining the team and appears poised to be a key part of the offense.

Kennon was FSU’s highest-rated high school signee in the 2026 recruiting cycle, and cornerbacks coach Blue Adams likes what he has seen from him so far.

“It’s a battle,” he said on Thursday. “You know what I mean? He’s young. He’s energetic. Sometimes you got to tell me to focus up and go in this direction. But he’s coachable. That’s what I like about him.”
