Florida State true freshman running back Khalan Laborn is not currently in Shreveport with the FSU football team ahead of its Independence Bowl match-up with Southern Miss.

Laborn was on social media from his home in Virginia on Christmas after posting on social media from Shreveport early Christmas morning.

Laborn did not show up to events leading up to the bowl game and was sent home from Shreveport after making the trip with the team a source told the Tallahassee Democrat.

Laborn was rated as a five-star running back in the 2017 recruiting class and the No. 1 ranked all-purpose back.

He was a part of FSU's stellar running back class a season ago that also included five-star Cam Akers, four-star Zaquandre White, and three-star Deonte Sheffield.

Akers is FSU's leading rusher this year with 931 yards and seven touchdowns. White and Laborn both redshirted, and Sheffield blue-shirted.

Running back coach Jay Graham left with Jimbo Fisher for Texas A&M, but defensive tackles coach Odell Haggins was his primary recruiter. Haggins will remain on FSU's staff under new coach Willie Taggart.

FSU has hired Oregon running backs coach Donte' Pimpleton for the same position in Tallahassee.
