FAMU Signing Day Recap: Holmes pleased with new recruits!

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Florida A&M’s Head football coach, Earl Holmes, announced his team’s 14-man recruiting class on Wednesday, which consists of eight offensive lineman. Yes, eight big fellas, but it’s not surprising considering FAMU’s o-line was the team’s Achilles’ heel last season.

The 2,330-pound O-line class will look to booster a Rattler offensive line that has given up 23 sacks and only paved the way for 10 rushing touchdowns last season.

Holmes indicated how the offensive line struggles of last season needed to be corrected with this recruiting class.



“We really wanted to concentrate on the offensive line,” Holmes said. We really paid close attention to what we need to be successful in the 2014 season.”

Joshua Addison, who led his Miami Central team to a 2013 6A state championship, recorded 70 pancake blocks during his senior season, and he’s only given up two sacks the last two seasons. Despite being graded as a two-star athlete by rivals.com Addison is considered to be the best player in FAMU’s freshman class.
