TALLAHASSEE – Redshirt senior offensive lineman Richie Leonard IV was named to the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team Tuesday. Leonard becomes the ninth player in program history and third under head coach Mike Norvell to earn the recognition.

The Allstate AFCA Good Works Team began in 1992 to recognize the extra efforts made by college football players and student support staff off the field. Leonard is one of 11 FBS players recognized and is now a finalist for the Wuerffel Trophy, college football’s premier award for community service. Fans can vote for Leonard to be the Wuerffel Trophy winner and the Good Works Team captain at ESPN.com/Allstate through Nov. 10.

Leonard, from Cocoa, founded and runs the Richie H. Leonard Football Camp, held in his hometown. The event, started in 2024, is free for anyone interested in attending and has attracted over 600 participants in its first two years. Sponsors from the event helped Leonard present a $5,000 donation to Cocoa High School’s football program.

Leonard was also part of a mission trip, sponsored by FSU’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter, to Argentina in May of this year. The week-long trip was part of a larger goal of teaching local communities about American football and growing the game abroad.

Additionally, Leonard helps sponsor an AAU basketball team, participates in multiple initiatives with children in Tallahassee and Cocoa, and is planning care packages for patients at the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa. Leonard’s mother, Prishonda, is a breast cancer survivor who received her chemotherapy treatments at Moffitt in 2021.

On the field, Leonard has appeared in six games with the Seminoles since 2024. Leonard has started both of Florida State’s games in 2025 – wins over No. 8 Alabama and East Texas A&M – and has not committed a penalty in his time with FSU.

Leonard is the ninth Seminole to make the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team, joining Dillan Gibbons in 2022, Camren McDonald in 2021, Mavin Saunders in 2017, Alec Eberle in 2016, Christian Ponder in 2010, Sam Cowart in 1996, Wayne Messam in 1995 and Corey Fuller in 1992. Gibbons was also named the Wuerffel Trophy winner in 2022.

FSU’s nine all-time selections are the most from any school in Florida and are tied for seventh among all schools nationally.
