Despite their 5-7 record, Florida State had one of the nation's top offenses last season. Lost in the shadows even further was how effective freshman running back Ousmane Kromah was when he was given opportunities.
The explosive through-the-hole and vision that made FSU push so hard to flip Kromah from the Georgia Bulldogs was clear, and it set up the Peach State native to be RB1 going forward. Chris Hummer and Matt Zenitz of 247Sports think Kromah won't just perform well as a sophomore, but they think he'll have a breakout season.
Kromah leads a talented group that also features Quintrevion Wisner, Sam Singleton Jr., and freshman Amari Thomas. According to running backs coach Kam Martin, Kromah has taken the bull by the horns this offseason in preparing for a bigger role as a sophomore.
"He's taking that next step. He's taking that next step as a person and as a player," Martin said back in March. "Every morning, me and him have been watching film at 5:30 in the morning, and I can tell you this: he's taking that next step to be the guy he wants to be. He wants to be great.
"Every rep that he takes, if he messes up, he owns it and he wants to be the best. I meet with him twice a day, and he's trying to take that next step. I'm excited to get to work with him."
With Mike Norvell calling the plays again, the Seminoles will certainly run the ball quite a bit in 2026. Plenty of eyes will be on Kromah to see if he's taken the next step in his development.
