Ousmane Kromah, a 2025 recruit who arrived in Tallahassee with a reputation as a three‑star prospect, is entering his sophomore year with the Florida State Seminoles poised to assume a larger role in the offense.
During his freshman campaign he logged 72 carries for 408 yards, averaging 5.7 yards per rush, and caught a handful of passes that showcased his versatility out of the backfield.
A Deepening Backfield
The Seminoles’ running back room now includes Texas Longhorns transfer Quintrevion Wisner and veteran Sam Singleton Jr., creating a situation where carries will be shared but also fiercely contested.
Head coach Mike Norvell has indicated that the staff intends to rotate the trio, using each player’s strengths to keep defenses guessing and to maintain fresh legs throughout the schedule.
Breakout Potential
Analysts believe that increased snaps could allow Kromah to eclipse the 600‑yard rushing mark and become a more prominent weapon in the passing game, especially in short‑yard and goal‑line situations.
His performance will also be measured against advanced metrics, including the PFF report card that graded his running, pass‑blocking and receiving abilities, providing a clearer picture of his development trajectory.
If the Seminoles can harness the depth of their backfield, the added explosiveness could prove decisive in close conference matchups and help the team push for a higher finish in the ACC.
