A program spokesperson informed NoleGameday that Carbin is no longer a member of the program.The move comes as a surprise, considering Carbin just signed with the Seminoles in December. He's been with the team for the entirety of the offseason.Though he wasn't someone the coaching staff mentioned often, Carbin did practice with Florida State during the spring.Carbin was expected to spend his true freshman season working with the scout team and redshirting.The Seminoles got into the picture a little late, offering Carbin shortly after he committed to Georgia Tech.That didn't stop Florida State's push. Carbin visited town for home games against Alabama and Pittsburgh. He decommitted from the Yellow Jackets in October, choosing the Seminoles a short time later.During his senior season at Hillgrove High School, Carbin totaled 39 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 7 sacks, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery, and 2 pass deflections.The 6-foot-4, 236-pound defensive end was regarded as the No. 731 overall prospect, the No. 77 EDGE, and the No. 74 recruit in Georgia in the 2026 class, according to the 247Sports Composite Ratings.Carbin will have four seasons of eligibility remaining and likely won't be able to play this fall.Though the departure is disappointing, it's not a huge blow to the Seminoles. Florida State still has seven other true freshmen defensive linemen on the roster, including Earnest Rankins, Franklin Whitley, and Jaemin Pinckney.Who Does Florida State Have Along The Defensive Line For The 2026 Season?Jordan Sanders, Redshirt SeniorDeamontae Diggs, Redshirt SeniorDeante McCray, Redshirt SeniorDaniel Lyons, Redshirt SeniorRylan Kennedy, SeniorJalen Anderson, JuniorMandrell Desir, SophomoreDarryll Desir, SophomoreKevin Wynn, Redshirt FreshmanTylon Lee, Redshirt FreshmanEarnest Rankins, FreshmanFranklin Whitley, FreshmanJaemin Pinckney, FreshmanWihtlley Cadeau, FreshmanCam Brooks, FreshmanJudah Daniels, FreshmanChristian Collins-Murray, FreshmanSign up for our free newsletter and follow us on Facebook, X , and Instagram for the latest news.Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
