Cam Akers totaled 18 touchdowns during his final season at Florida State.

He received second-team all-conference honors after leading FSU with 1,144 rushing yards on 231 carries and 14 touchdowns. He also caught 30 passes for 225 yards and four touchdowns.

A smooth runner, Akers is a solid bet to be a three-down back at the next level. He needs to improve his ball security, but he has the elusiveness and field vision to be a consistent threat out of backfields for years to come.
