The season is halfway over and yet, some players have gone farther than others.
FSU’s Dalvin Cook, for instance, seems to have gotten off to a slow slart. But he’s third in America in rushing, which isn’t bad.
USF’s Marlon Mack has already become the most impressive running back in school history.
Despite playing with two quarterbacks, Florida’s Antonio Callaway has averaged more than 90 yards per game in receiving.
And so they go. Rankings are not strictly by stats; level of competition is considered. A glimpse of the best of the state through mid-October:
