Samuel Singleton Jr. Poised for Breakout Role with Florida State Seminoles

The running back’s steady rise sets the stage for a pivotal 2026 season

Samuel Singleton Jr. is entering his fourth season with the Florida State Seminoles, a milestone that underscores both his durability and the coaching staff’s confidence in his development.

Despite a deep reservoir of talent at the running back position, Singleton’s blend of speed and vision has set him apart, positioning him as one of the two primary options for the 2026 campaign.

A Promising Trajectory

Recruited in 2023 as a three‑star prospect, he was ranked No. 389 nationally, No. 28 among running backs, and No. 73 in his state, yet his on‑field production has far exceeded those early expectations.

His career numbers — 80 carries for 509 yards and four touchdowns, averaging 6.4 yards per carry — reflect a steady upward curve, a trend highlighted by his PFF Report Card, which notes marked gains in offensive running, pass blocking and receiving.

Coaches have praised his offseason work ethic, and analysts expect his role to expand as the Seminoles look to leverage his explosiveness against increasingly competitive defenses.
