College career

As a junior in 2013, Freeman was a first-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) selection. He rushed for over 1,000 yards on the ground, the first Nole to do so since 1996. Freeman finished the season with career highs in rushing yards (1,016), receiving yards (278) and touchdowns (15) despite splitting carries with James Wilder, Jr. and Karlos Williams in Florida State's backfield. He led the Seminoles in rushing in each of his three seasons in Tallahassee. [3]

On January 11, 2014, he announced he would bypass his senior season and enter the 2014 NFL Draft.[4]
