Senior quarterback Leon Camel is one of the smallest players on the team, but he made a big statement with his haircut at Thursday's practice.
Camel, who is the unofficial team barber, had the school's Rattler head logo design cut into the back of his head.
"I guess he got a design based on his personality," FAMU coach Rubin Carter joked at Thursday's practice. "He's a barber, but I don't think he did it himself with mirrors. Then again, it kind of looks like he did it with mirrors. It adds a little spice to his life.
"I want the players to have fun as long as it is not anything that is degrading. It looks like a road map from where I'm standing. He must have went on the Internet and got some directions to Birmingham and got somebody to put it on his head. "

Redshirt sophomore Joseph Wims has been moved from defensive end to tackle. Wims, 6-5, 250 pounds, came to FAMU two years ago from Miami City Carol High School as a physical specimen.
Coaches had high hopes that Wims would make an instant impact as a pass rusher at end, but a knee injury derailed his freshmen year.
Last year Sims was a reserve at end, but was unable to work his way into one of the starting spots.
"We put Wims inside to put him in a spot where he would feel more comfortable and allow him a chance to use his natural ability," Carter said. "Joe has adjusted extremely well to the position itself. He's getting better."
Eligibility and injuries
Defensive back Donovan Johnson, linebacker Bryan Parker, defensive end Marquis Mathews and receiver Ronald Wright will not play in Saturday's game because of eligibility issues.
