RB CAM AKERS
You might as well as start calling Florida State "RBU" with the talent that Coach Jimbo Fisher was bringing to Tallahassee. Fans were spoiled with having the greatness of Dalvin Cook, who became one of the best rushers in school history, with Warrick Dunn.
That is great company to have. Even though Cook came from the Miami area, Fisher wasn't afraid to take chances on recruits that lived in a different state. Running back Cam Akers was a five-star prospect from Clinton, Mississippi in the 2017 recruiting cycle.
The issue was that Akers was committed to the Alabama Crimson Tide, who also had a history of developing NFL-caliber running backs. However, the Seminoles knew that they couldn't pass on a prospect that played quarterback and running back in high school, where he passed 3,128 yards and rushed for 2,105 yards and had 65 total touchdowns during his senior year (according to MaxPreps).
That was a talent that the Seminoles couldn't afford to let him easily walk into Tuscaloosa without a fight. Florida State began to recruit him heavily after he backed off his commitment from Alabama in March, and he signed with the good guys in December.
He didn't have a Florida State career like Dalvin Cook, but he recorded 2,874 rushing yards and 27 touchdowns in three years in the Garnet and Gold (per ESPN Stats and Information).
