Sims commits to FAMU over offers from B-CU and Tennessee State

TALLAHASSEE, Florida  -- The Earl Holmes effect continues to play out among local players for the FAMU football program, as Lincoln offensive tackle Chole Sims announced Tuesday that he’s committed to becoming a Rattler.

Just like the two previously disclosed commitments before him, Sims said he was impressed with the direction that Holmes would like to take the program. Holmes was hired earlier this month for his first collegiate head-coaching job.

Sims’ commitment came three days after he took a visit to FAMU.

“It’s like a family, like where I came from at Lincoln,” Sims said. “I like the coaching staff, really. With Coach Holmes, I feel like they have a good program going. I feel like they know what they’re doing.”

Bolstering the offensive line had been a priority for Holmes’ predecessor, Joe Taylor, and Holmes seemingly is continuing to add depth to the unit. Last season, FAMU played with a line that had Robert Hartley as the only senior and at points during the season had all freshmen around him.
