TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- FAMU nose tackle Romario Chisholm doesn’t waste an opportunity to prepare for the competition that’s going on between him and Michael Lovejoy for the starting nose tackle position. No matter where he is.
“I walked around campus doing swim moves and sprint moves just so when I came back (to practice) everything would be easier to compete,” said the sophomore defensive lineman.
Like Chisholm, all of the Rattlers’ linemen are young. That leaves line coach George Small with the task of developing them quickly — a scenario that played out two seasons ago.
FAMU’s line was solid last year, led by nose tackle Padric Scott, who signed as an NFL free agent earlier this year. The unit also lost Ellie Hyppolite and Brandon Davis. Small obviously has concerns about the line, but the players are confident and willing to learn, he said.
“As long as I have the will and I have a nice engine and I can put gas in it,” he said, “we can get them running.”
