Cam Akers

Cam Akers has already emerged as the overall leader of this team in my opinion. A former five-star recruit that broke Dalvin Cook’s FSU rookie rushing record speaks for itself.

He was much of the FSU offense last season and is poised to breakout in Willie Taggart’s offense in 2018.

Akers plays with an edge, willing to run over defenders instead of trying to juke them at times. He has big play ability and will be a vocal leader when needed as evidence earlier this year at practice.
