TALLAHASSEE, FL – Florida A&M’s Head football coach, Earl Holmes, announced his team’s 2014 recruiting class on Wednesday at the Gilamore-Powell Fieldhouse. The 14 in-coming freshman consists of eight offensive lineman. Yes, eight big fellas, but it’s not surprising considering FAMU’s o-line was the team’s Achilles’ heel last season.
TALLAHASSEE, FL – Florida A&M’s Head football coach, Earl Holmes, announced his team’s 2014 recruiting class on Wednesday at the Gilamore-Powell Fieldhouse. The 14 in-coming freshman consists of eight offensive lineman. Yes, eight big fellas, but it’s not surprising considering FAMU’s o-line was the team’s Achilles’ heel last season.
The 2,330-pound O-line class will look to booster a Rattler offensive line that has given up 23 sacks and only paved the way for 10 rushing touchdowns last season.
Holmes indicated how the offensive line struggles of last season needed to be corrected with this recruiting class.
“We really wanted to concentrate on the offensive line,” Holmes said. We really paid close attention to what we need to be successful in the 2014 season.”

Joshua Addison, who led his Miami Central team to a 2013 6A state championship, headlines the recruiting class. Addison recorded 70 pancake blocks during his senior season, and he’s only given up two sacks the last two seasons. Despite being graded as a two-star athlete by rivals.com. Addison is considered to be the best player in FAMU’s freshman class.
The 14 soon-to-be freshman will join FAMU’s junior college athletes and transfers, most of whom, have already enrolled at the university.
