Fall practice for Florida A&M football is underway ahead of an exciting 2024 college football season.
FAMU fans have high expectations after a 12-1 season in 2023 that ended with a Celebration Bowl victory in the HBCU national championship. The Rattlers did lose their head coach after Willie Simmons left to become the Duke running backs coach.
Former assistant James Colzie is now in charge at FAMU after a contentious search. Colzie has a quarterback battle to oversee between Junior Muratovic and FAU transfer Daniel Richardson. He’ll also look to continue the tradition of the fearsome “Dark Cloud Defense,” the No. 3 scoring defense in FCS in 2023. This year’s squad is led by preseason All-SWAC defensive back Kendall Bohler.
