TALLAHASSEE, Florida - Some of the blame could be put on LeRoy Vann for the high standard that kickoff and punt returners for FAMU must now attain.
Vann made it a habit of scoring touchdowns on punt returns and he left with a school record three seasons ago. Since then, there hasn’t been a punt or kick returner who came close to the feat.
Coach Joe Taylor isn’t quite sure he’s found the man yet to match Vann but the ones he’s chosen as returners seem to be doing a pretty good job. Not of imitating Vann, mind you. At least they are getting the ball to a spot that would give FAMU good field position.
Cornerback Marvin Ross will take the lead on punt returns, with defensive back Terry Johnson and Lenworth Lennon as back-ups. James Owens will handle kick returns. He and Ross each had a return for a touchdown in the Rattlers’ final scrimmage last weekend.
