FSU football: 3 major questions about running back position heading into 2024 spring camp
By Kelvin Hunt
More consistent with fewer home runs?
The FSU running game was more consistent in 2022 with Treshaun Ward but became a home run hitter later in that season when Trey Benson emerged once Ward got injured. The hope was that FSU would continue the consistency from early 2022 combined with the home run-hitting ability Benson presented. However, the offensive line suffered injuries and the running game never seemed to find any consistency, but Benson took quite a few runs to the house. If you wondered how he did it at his size, just look at his 4.39 forty-yard dash at the NFL Combine a few weeks ago.
Roydell Williams is built like Benson but his running style reminds me more of Treshaun Ward. Toafili does what he does, and Holmes seems to have a gear that can hit home runs, but he's had limited reps since transferring to FSU. Singleton has some explosion to his game, and Davis is built like a fire hydrant. It'll depend on the offensive line play also, but it'll be interesting to see if the running game has consistency and the home run threat or one or the other.
