FAMU Rattlers head football coach Joe Taylor -- "Man does not decide his future. Man decides his habits. And his habits decide his future."FAMU finds nice fit in new recruits
Aram Wynn, an offensive lineman at Lakewood High School in St. Petersburg, found exactly what he'd been looking for at FAMU and has committed to becoming a Rattler. "It was a nice, family friendly environment," said Wynn, 6-foot-5, 280 pounds. "The coaching staff seemed very excited about what they are doing about changing a boy into a man." He visited FAMU on Saturday and announced his commitment during a telephone interview Sunday. He was among 18 high school players who visited during the weekend.
"When I came to FAMU, it just grabbed my attention," he said. "I'm very excited. I'm looking forward to being around a good football program." Highly-touted Cassius McDowell also visited over the weekend, but said Sunday night that while he's leaning toward FAMU, he might not decide until Wednesday when the national signing period begins. Toledo, the University of Connecticut and Florida Atlantic University have also shown interest in McDowell, who said he's visited all three schools.

Tampa Catholic grad Brandon Green commits to Rattlers
Brandon Green, a 2009 Tampa Catholic grad who spent a season at prep school, has committed to the Florida A&M football program. “I just felt comfortable with FAMU -- the coaching staff and everything,” Green said. “I believe I can go there and mature as a player and mature as a young man.” FAMU is recruiting the 6-foot-3, 245-pounder to play LB and DE. Green was a three-year starter for the Crusaders and helped the team earn a spot in the state finals as a junior.
Last fall, he played at Hargrave Military Academy in Virginia, which is considered to be one of the country’s elite prep schools for football. “I believe that helped me a whole lot,” Green said. “Hargrave helped me mature.” During the recruiting process, Green also had interest from USF and FSU. Brandon is the older brother of TC QB Christian Green, who made an official visit to FSU last weekend.
