Amari Thomas, Xavier Chaplin earn ACC Player of the Week recognition

The Florida State Seminoles picked up a much-needed road win against the Boston College Eagles this past Saturday. It was thanks in large part to some excellent performances by a multitude of players, but two specifically have been recognized.

Player of the Week honors in the ACC were handed out on Monday. Running back Amari Thomas and offensive lineman Xavier Chaplin earned the honors for FSU.

Thomas got his shot to be more involved in the game plan with Ousmane Kromah out for the season. Although Quintrevion Wisner got the start against Boston College, Thomas was the top performer for the Seminoles in the running game. He gained 98 yards on 19 carries and scored two touchdowns while adding another nine yards receiving. The true freshman showed quickly that he needs more reps in the last three games.

Chaplin was brought in as a transfer to stabilize the offensive line this season, and Saturday was an example of why Florida State wanted him. In 70 snaps, he did not allow a single pressure or a sack against Boston College. He recorded five knockdown blocks, eight blocks that led to a first down or a touchdown, and an effort grade of 97%.

If FSU wants to finish the season strong, they'll need more performances like the ones they got from Thomas and Chaplin over the weekend.
