Warrick Dunn arrives at FSU

Warrick Dunn arrived at the Campus of Florida State University as a top ten player from the state of Louisiana. Out of Catholic High School in Baton Rouge, Dunn earned Freshman All America honors in his first year as he helped the Seminoles win their first National Title in 1993.

Warrick went on to become the first two time 1,000 yard rusher at FSU. In 1994 Dunn was named MVP of the Sugar Bowl, and went on to rush for almost 4,000 yards, a record until Dalvin Cook smashed it.
