Florida State football, recruiting news: FSU has the best running back group in the ACC

Football:

Athlon Sports ranked the top 50 running backs in the country and FSU is the only ACC school with a player ranked inside the top ten (Cam Akers) and an additional player ranked inside the top 50 (Jacques Patrick). When you look at the production of those two and an emerging talent like former five-star Khalan Laborn; it’s hard to imagine a better group in the ACC.

Starting offensive tackle Josh Ball is no longer listed on Florida State’s roster.

FSU’s current over/under win total is 7.5; even Bud thinks that is too low.

Florida State checks in at No. 23 on 247’s Summer Top 25.
