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.
