The one criticism that most fans had was a rocky rotation as the stable failed to find consistency, leaving room for attrition as the next season approaches.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5n\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/college\/fsu\/florida-state-seminoles-college-football\/fsu-football-officially-announces-hiring-kam-martin-new-running-backs-coach-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">READ MORE: FSU football officially announces hiring of Kam Martin as new running backs coach<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5q\">Running backs Roydell Williams (graduation), Caziah Holmes (graduation), Gavin Sawchuk (transfer portal), Jaylin Lucas (transfer portal), and Kam Davis, who entered the portal in December, are all expected to depart the program. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5t\">That would leave Ousmane Kromah and Sam Singleton as the likely one-two punch, with athlete Micahi Danzy providing a speedy option at both running back and wide receiver.<\/p>\n<p>Davis Expected to Visit Two Big Ten Programs<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/01kdzzhx4k7xvrx7zt17.jpg\" alt=\"Florida State Seminoles running back Kam Davis\" title=\"Florida State Seminoles running back Kam Davis\" width=\"1965\" height=\"1105\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"65\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Nov 23, 2024; Tallahassee, Florida, USA; Florida State Seminoles running back Kam Davis (3) runs the ball during the second half of the game against the Charleston Southern Buccaneers at Doak S.

Various injuries throughout the two seasons he spent in Tallahassee, Florida, kept him from seeing a more significant role in the FSU offense. He had eight rushes for 51 yards and one touchdown over four games in 2025.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6i\">The Albany, Georgia native was ranked No. 3 nationally at the running back position and No. 12 in Georgia according to 247Sports.
