FSU football: Top 10 impact players for Noles in 2019
By Kelvin Hunt
The offense will be carried in large part by Cam Akers in 2019 just as it was in 2017. The FSU freshman rushing record holder will be featured in an offense tailor-made for him to break off explosive plays.
Akers averaged just 4.39 ypc last season which is down from the 5.3 ypc he had as a true freshman.
That should be mitigated by a better passing game from James Blackman and improved offensive line.
He should continue to be a threat out of the backfield in the passing game as this offense likes to get its playmakers in space too.
I think Akers should rush for near 1,100 yards and 10 touchdowns and could get near 20 receptions for 250 yards.
He’ll share carries with Khalan Laborn and Anthony Grant. However, that also means less wear and tear and the ability to be fresher late in games against gassed defenses. Look to hear Cam Akers’ name on repeat in the 2019 season.
