5. Florida State Seminoles

The Florida State Seminoles are the lone ACC team with a top-10 recruiting class despite the Clemson Tigers winning the National Championship. They very well could replace the Tigers next year as a College Football Playoff and their recruiting class is evidence of that.

The commitments of 5-star running backs Cam Akers and Khalan Laborn easily put the Seminoles at the top of the recruiting ranks. Akers is a 5’11, 213-pound prospect out of Clinton, Mississippi. He ranks as the second overall player nationally and first by position.

Laborn is a 5’10 all-purpose back weighing in at 199 pounds out of Virginia Beach, Virginia. He ranks 28th nationally and is the number one rated all-purpose back.

Along with the running backs, quarterback Deondre Francois could have a new target in 6-foot-6 wide receiver prospect Joshua Kaindoh out of IMG Academy. Kaindoh ranks ninth nationally and is the third overall receiver, according to 247 Sports.

The Seminoles got 21 total commitments in this year’s recruiting class overall; 10 on offense, 10 on defense, and a long snapper.
