Mike Norvell relies on running backs to support QB Ashton Daniels at Florida State
Summary

Florida State Seminoles head coach Mike Norvell prepares to utilize a trio of running backs in the 2026 season to bolster the team’s offense and aid quarterback Ashton Daniels. With returning players Ousmane Kromah and Samuel Singleton, along with Texas transfer Quintrevion Wisner, the Seminoles aim to create a strong ground game. Last season, the team rushed for 2,624 yards and 31 touchdowns while averaging just over five yards per carry. By enhancing the run game, Florida State hopes to ease the pressure on Daniels, who has struggled with ball security in his career. The Seminoles will look to build momentum during fall camp before facing a challenging schedule in September.
