3 Cam Akers 5’11 212 RB Junior

Akers is the best running back that no one talks about due to the condition of the Seminoles’ program. He’s a former five-star recruit from the state of Mississippi. An elite athlete with a very good burst and physicality in the box. He can take any carry to the touchdown in a hurry. Has played some quarterback this season in the “WildCam” package because of the state of FSU quarterbacking is poor. A former QB in high school so the plays aren’t new to him. Has improved immensely as a junior after a down sophomore campaign.

15 Tamorrion Terry 6’4 203 WR RS Sophomore

Terry is Florida State’s best receiver by far. He’s their primary deep ball threat and has the speed to prove it. The thin frame is an issue, however against much more physical defensive backs. He just has that alpha dog mentality of it’s my ball and you can’t stop me in 50/50 situations. Really raw in terms of running other routes but that may be due to the faulty system that Kendall Briles employs for receivers.

1 Levonta Taylor 5’10 190 CB Senior

Taylor is a former five star recruit that flirted with declaring for the draft as a junior but came back to school. He’s played up to his lofty billing throughout his career. He will have some issues with bigger receivers but has been generally in the picture and often making the play. He continues the long legacy of standout defensive backs for the program. Has struggled some in 2019 with consistency and health.

23 Hamsah Nasirildeen 6’4 215 S Junior

Nasirildeen has been the leader of the beleaguered Seminoles defense this season, posting multiple double digit tackle games. He had a nifty pick six in the game against Alabama State a couple of weeks ago. He’s a really good athlete and the frame will get NFL GMs drooling. The H/W/L aspect is ideal for the position. He should test really well at the Combine if he declares as a junior.
