TALLAHASSEE - New Florida A&M football coach Joe Taylor wrapped up his first National Signing Day as a Rattler on Wednesday, signing 12 new commitments to his new squad. "It was important to us to make sure that we build this thing from inside-out, meaning that we had to evaluate what was here. That was the biggest challenge, which is always ongoing."

Taylor said that signing only 12 players gives the Rattlers some extra scholarships for exceptional walk-on players, and leaves some scholarships open for any potential Division I-A transfers. "There's some people on this team right now that are not on scholarship that will probably deserve one after spring ball, which will fill out maybe six or seven more scholarships," Taylor said.
