Florida State just made a huge move for their 2028 class, extending an offer to four-star running back Elijah Cromwell from Cherry Creek High School in Englewood, Colorado. This isn’t just some casual look-see, this is FSU wanting their *first* running back pledge for that 2028 cycle. Talk about putting in work early!
Meet the Next Big Thing
Cromwell, dude, is already a force. According to 247Sports composite rankings, he’s the No. 267 overall player nationally, the No. 18 running back, and Colorado’s No. 2 ranked prospect. That’s serious talent, and he’s still got time to grow before he even steps on a college campus. He announced it himself on social media, “Blessed to receive an offer from the university of Florida state!!” You know he’s hyped, and FSU is clearly making him a priority.
Baller Stats and a Battle Royale
This kid’s junior campaign has been straight fire. We’re talking 777 rushing yards on 101 carries, punching it in for 11 touchdowns on the ground. And he’s not just a runner either! Cromwell has hauled in 10 passes for 135 yards and another score. Those are some ridiculous numbers. But FSU isn’t alone in noticing this talent. The competition is absolutely stacked. Cromwell already has close to 30 offers in total from schools like the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Miami Hurricanes, Ohio State Buckeyes, Michigan Wolverines, Oregon Ducks, and Florida Gators. Everyone wants a piece of this guy, and it’s gonna be a dogfight for his commitment.
FSU’s Long Game Is Strong
It’s clear FSU is playing the long game here. They’ve already got blue-chip running back Jayden Miles committed in the 2027 cycle. So, offering Cromwell now? That’s a strong statement. They want back-to-back blue-chip RBs to anchor their future offense, making sure the pipeline is absolutely loaded. This isn’t just an offer, it’s a declaration. The Seminoles are going all in early for their 2028 class. Keep your eyes peeled, because the battle for Elijah Cromwell is just getting started, and it’s going to be epic to watch.
