Mike Norvell and the 200stunner of a verbal commitment for #Tribe25. In a testament to the power of genuine relationships and playing the long game, this time it’s a blue-chip running back long coveted by FSU.
Ousmane Kromah is a 5’11”, 200 pound running back who plays for Lee County in Leesburg, GA. He is currently ranked as the 74th best player in the nation by 247Sports Composite (4th best RB, 10th best player in GA).

He has been one of two targets atop FSU’s running back board for the entire cycle. After the Seminoles recently lost their other top priority to the Florida Gators, those relationships with Kromah paid off in a big way with his verbal pledge.
Kirby Smart’s Bulldogs landed Kromah after a hard-fought summer of visits, but he has spurned the Dawgs and has chosen the Seminoles over 25 other offers from the likes of the Alabama Crimson Tide, Colorado Buffaloes, Florida Gators, Kentucky Wildcats, Miami Hurricanes, Michigan Wolverines, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Ohio State Buckeyes, and Tennessee Volunteers.
As his film shows time and again, Kromah has a great combination of vision, patience, and burst. He gets to the second level quickly and shows a nice array of jukes and cuts to get into the open before turning on the jets. He can be a weapon in the passing game as well. Kromah also isn’t afraid to put his shoulder down and run through tacklers.
