Keith Miles Out as Voice of the FAMU Rattlers

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Rattler fans who tune in to listen to the game Saturday night may be in for a big surprise.

FAMU has named a new play by play announcer to replace Keith Miles, who has been the Voice of the Rattlers for the past 30 years.

"He throws down field, got a man, that's .... makes the catch!"

Rattler fans know that voice. Keith Miles has done FAMU's play by play for 30 years, but he won't be doing it anymore.

FAMU has hired a new play by play announcer who will start as the new voice of the Rattlers in the season opener against Jackson State Saturday night.

"It'll be different. It'll be funny to hear the whole play-by-play without the same exuberance that Keith Miles used to give," Rattler fan Johnny McCaskill said.

"He will be missed," FAMU fan Wayne Daniels said, "so I wish him well. I hope they find somebody that's close to him."

"It's definitely a big change," FAMU Sports Information Director Vaughn Wilson said.
