Orlando East River OL Ivan Rios will take his talents to FAMU

Orlando, Florida -- Ivan Rios Jr. has just one scholarship offer. There could be more on the way, but the East River offensive lineman doesn't need to see any more offers. Rios, who plays guard for East River, liked his visit to Florida A&M so much that he nearly committed on the spot.

"When I went to visit the school, I loved it up there," Rios said. "It was a great experience and the coaching staff was great and the speeches they gave about academics and being focused was great … I just like their team overall."

Rios, 6-foot-5, 280 pounds, is part of one of the best offensive lines in the state. The Falcons' front five is anchored by 6-foot-8, 350-pound tackle Adam Duckett and bookended on the other side by tackle Josh Farr (6-5, 250), while the other guard is Micah Cross (6-1, 285) and the center Jacob Bear (6-0, 285).



But Rios knows there could be more formidable linemen to compete against for a spot on the field once he arrives at FAMU. "There are some pretty big boys over there, but I don’t think it’s a problem," Rios said. "I think I can go over there and start soon."
