Freshman receiver turning heads at FAMU

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Almost every day during volunteer 7-on-7 workouts, someone was asking who that guy is making big catches with the FAMU receiving corps.

Pre-season camp has started and the onlooker are just as curious about Brandon Norwood. He is a 6-foot-3, 180-pound receiver out of Atlanta's Cedar Grove High School.

He didn't get a single inquiry for a scholarship offer.

During signing day, he watched as some of his teammates signed letters to play for schools like South Carolina.

"Everybody was getting offers and I was still trying to figure what I would do after high school," said Norwood, who was one of coach Earl Holmes' last signees.

The offer puts him in a place that he didn't think was possible. He sees it as an opportunity that he can't squander.
