With every run and catch out of the backfield, practice after practice, the point is driven home: Florida State has assembled a deep and versatile running back room and one that could be the identity of the offense in 2024.

There is a veteran in Lawrance Toafili but also transfers like Roydell Williams and Jaylin Lucas who have fit right in. There’s a veteran itching for more carries in the rotation in Caziah Holmes. There’s a second-year back in Sam Singleton, who looks far more comfortable this camp. There’s a freshman who doesn’t look like a freshman (224-pound Kam Davis) and a freshman who has stunned with his speed (Micahi Danzy, who clocked in at 21 mph recently).

The running back room has been nothing short of impressive, even if there’s the asterisk of seeing just one full-pad practice and a few more in shells. Day in and day out, FSU’s backs have been the most consistent room on offense. And it helps when they are running behind an offensive line that is also loaded with experience and depth.

“We got more backs, we’re stronger, tougher runners,” running backs coach David Johnson said. “They have a really good understanding of what's going on.”
