Dalvin Cook breaks Warrick Dunn’s Florida State career rushing record

Dalvin Cook is now the all-time leader in career rushing yards for Florida State after nearly three impressive seasons with the Seminoles.

Florida State running back Dalvin Cook entered the 2016 season as one of the most recognizable running backs in college football.

The junior running back is still living up to these expectations. Cook just broke the Seminoles’ rushing record against Syracuse, which was previously held by Warrick Dunn. Cook has rushed for 55 yards on his first six carries, which has increased his career rushing yards total to 3,997. Here is a radio call of Cook breaking Dunn’s record.

Cook will not win the Heisman Trophy after being considered a strong candidate entering this season. He finished his 2015 season with 1,691 rushing yards and 19 rushing touchdowns. Entering this game, he had 1,242 yards with 13 rushing touchdowns.

Dunn finished with 3,959 yards for the Seminoles, and he went on to enjoy a successful NFL career. The retired running back was selected in the first round by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before spending five seasons with them before signing with the Atlanta Falcons. Dunn made three Pro Bowl trips in his career, and he signed with the Buccaneers in 2008 to finish his career with his original team. The former Florida State and NFL star rushed for a career-high 1,416 yards in 2005.

It remains to be seen whether Cook will have a productive NFL career. He is expected to be a first-round pick. Cook is likely to enter the 2017 NFL Draft since he will be eligible after three years of college. However, would be part of a stacked running back class if he enters. LSU’s Leonard Fournette, Stanford’s Christian McCaffrey, and Georgia’s Nick Chubb are among running backs expected to be drafted high.
