Cam Akers, running back, Florida State
You didn’t think we’d forget about Akers, did you?
The Seminoles said goodbye to a legend this past winter when Dalvin Cook took his considerable talents to the NFL. He’ll be missed, but that doesn’t mean Florida State hasn’t been planning for this day. Jacques Patrick is the clear-cut starter heading into the summer months, but don’t be surprised if Akers ends up touching the ball at least a dozen times per game this fall.
The freshman showed off his skills in a major way during the spring game, tallying 102 yards, including 87 on the ground on 10 carries.

All the things that made Akers a five-star recruit were on display in the spring game. His vision, power, burst and speed should have FSU fans very excited about the upcoming season.
