Florida A&M football team starts spring practice on Wednesday

COURTESY FLORIDA A&M UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- The Florida A&M football team will begin their spring practice sessions on Wednesday, with the Rattlers up bright and early at 5:30 a.m.

FAMU is working with an almost brand-new coaching staff. Only one coach from last season's team — offensive line coach Edwin Pata — is on new head coach Alex Woods' team. The group is also working under the cloud of NCAA sanctions brought on by low APR scores and is trying to rebound after three straight losing seasons.
