During the final 10 weeks before the season kicks off, NoleNation will march through the depth chart to analyze Florida State's top 50 contributors for the 2012 season. From Austin Barron to Vince Williams, we'll review each player's career, evaluate his role in 2012 and project what might be in store down the road.
Fullback, Senior, 6 feet, 225 pounds
Looking back: Lonnie Pryor arrived on campus as a four-star prospect and one of the top running back recruits in the country. His career since then has hardly engendered the type of hype a hot prospect might expect, but for Pryor, that's never been a concern. A team player in every sense, Pryor stepped in as Florida State's fullback and has thrived in the role, serving as an exceptional lead blocker and dominating in blitz pickup. But Pryor's low-profile role certainly isn't an indicator of a limited skill set when the ball is in his hands. In three seasons of work, he's tallied 15 total touchdowns -- 10 on the ground and five through the air.
