Cam Akers, a 5-foot-11, 212-pound running back is committed to the Florida State Seminoles. He will be an early enrollee.

He is rated as a five-star prospect, the No. 2 running back nationally and the No. 4 prospect nationally regardless of position in the Scout Top 100.

Scout Evaluation: Akers is a different breed. He is a special player who will make an immediate impact. He has been a star player throughout his high school career as a quarterback, so it may take him a little time to get all the little things down at running back, but the size, strength, speed and skills are there for him to take off early in college. Akers is a true competitor who wants success. He has that drive to be the best, and with the skill-set he was born with, that has helped take him to another level as a prospect. - Chad Simmons

Akers is one of the most noted players in the history of Mississippi high school football. His eye-popping career totals of 13,243 yards and 149 touchdowns places him in the conversation as the very best player the state of Mississippi has ever produced.
