Spring football camp is wrapping up at Florida A&M.

On Tuesday, the Rattlers had their 13th of 15 spring practices on Ken Riley Field at Bragg Memorial Stadium.

And with one more standard practice remaining, FAMU head coach James Colzie III is using the final meetings to test his team’s wherewithal through good-on-good drills.

The Rattlers practice again on Thursday and then will use their 15th and final practice for Saturday’s annual Orange and Green Spring Football Game.

“Probably our last full practice. We’ll take it easy on Thursday,” Colzie said. “We did some good things today and handled some new situations well. You do many drills, but ultimately, it’s about when the ball is in the air.

“Who’s going to make the play? Who’s not going to make the play? It’s important for the coaches to assess.”

At Tuesday’s practice, the Rattlers’ schedule entailed much competition through offense versus defense drills and skelly periods, similar to a 7-on-7 game.

FAMU’s test of strength previews who will likely ascend in Saturday’s spring game.

“It was an emphasis to compete today. It makes us love being at practice,” FAMU safety Demorie Tate said. “It makes us want to practice hard and get each other better, so it’ll be much easier when we’re going against a different opponent.”

The Rattlers have scrimmaged three times during spring camp, most recently last Friday.

Camp’s vehement nature has FAMU excited for what’s to come as spring comes to a close later this week.

“I like that we scrimmage a little bit more and do a lot of team-on-team,” FAMU tight end Jeremiah Pruitte said. “It can’t do nothing but help us get ready for the game.”
