TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Luke Helms, an inside linebacker who played on Godby High School’s state champion football team two months ago, has decided to pass on potential offers from several SEC and ACC programs as he has committed to FAMU.
Helms, who took a weekend visit to FAMU, will join his brother, Matthew, a defensive end who played on special teams for the Rattlers last season.
“I made the decision early because we had been praying for it for a long time; just trying to fit into the right school and to see what God wanted me to do and where he wanted me to be,” Helms said Sunday night. “We started calling coaches for their perspective on life and football and theirs (FAMU’s) lined up exactly with ours. That is one of the main reasons I committed.”
He said he’d visited six schools, including Georgia Tech, Florida, Purdue and Vanderbilt before making his decision.
As a member of the Cougars’ championship team, Helms (6-foot-2, 220 pounds) was credited with 120 tackles, four sacks, and 10 quarterback hurries. He played only his senior season at Godby after spending the previous year at North Florida Christian. Helms began his high school career at Leon.
