Warrick Dunn

Warrick Dunn is arguably the greatest running back in FSU football history. He was FSU’s all-time leading rusher and held the single-season rushing record upon leaving for the NFL.

He’s third on FSU’s all-time rushing touchdowns list and a three-time First-Team All-ACC

Dunn’s greatest statistical season came in 1995 when he rushed for 1,242 yards with 13 touchdowns. He also contributed 43 receptions for 294 yards with three touchdowns.

Dunn finished 9th in the Heisman Trophy voting that season. However, he returned his senior season to finish fifth in the voting. although he tallied one less total yards from scrimmage and two fewer touchdowns than the previous year.

Dunn was selected in the first round of the 1997 NFL Draft with the No. 12 overall pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He went on to win the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award and was a three-time Pro Bowler.

Dunn holds multiple franchise records with both the Falcons and Buccaneers. He’s one of 11 FSU players to have his number honored.
