TALLAHASSEE, Florida - If FAMU quarterback Tyler Bass wanted to walk around feeling sorry for himself, he’s earned that right. Consider his college football journey that brought him to the point where he’s playing his final season as a backup for the Rattlers.
After enrolling at Maryland out of Atlanta Stockbridge High in 2008, Bass left the Terrapins before the start of the season to attend the University of Memphis. Two injuries (shoulder and knee) thwarted any chance he had to make a case for the starting job.
Lack of playing time and a coaching change at Memphis prompted his transfer to FAMU last year. He demonstrated his ability in a handful of practices, but when coach Joe Taylor decided he needed a quarterback change, Bass was being hampered by back pain.
Enter then-freshman Damien Fleming, who performed well enough to begin this season at the starting quarterback. “It’s life,” said Bass.
