Receivers solid in final FAMU scrimmage

TALLAHASSEE, Florida - The biggest question coming into preseason camp was just how effective will the FAMU receiving corps be with the loss of Kevin Elliott and Brian Tyms.

A surprisingly large crowd witnessed the answer at Bragg Stadium on Saturday night in the Rattlers’ final scrimmage. Converted running back Al-Terek McBurse showed he has the hands, and Travis Harvey, a backup to Tyms last season, stepped out of the shadows and impressed.

With redshirt sophomore Lenworth Lennon as the most consistent returning starter in camp, the presence of McBurse and Harvey should give the unit some depth.

“They work hard, but you’ve got a quarterback that throws the ball like our guy does,” said coach Joe Taylor, referring to starter Damien Fleming. “I’m pleased because with you lose two guys like Elliott and Tyms you might have some concerns.”
