With Florida State looking to heavily focus on the run game with offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn’s new scheme, the Seminoles opted to bring in some extra fire-power at the running back position in the portal.
Oklahoma RB transfer Gavin Sawchuk signed with Florida State on Sunday, the university announced. The redshirt junior has two years of eligibility remaining. A former four-star recruit in the 2022 class, Sawchuk was considered the No. 10 running back and the No. 134 prospect nationally at the time.
Sawchuk was offered by running backs Coach David Johnson out of high school but never visited prior to Friday.
He ran for 100 yard on 15 carries against Florida State in the Cheez-It Bowl as a true freshman in 2022 and led the Sooners in rushing the following season – amassing 744 rushing yards and nine touchdowns in 12 games.
Sawchuk started four games last season for Oklahoma, appearing in nine games. He missed four other games due to injury. He has 128 rushing yards on 39 carries.
