TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Akil Blount has plenty to get used to in his final year with Florida A&M’s football team.The senior linebacker took the practice field for the first time Wednesday morning almost 12 hours before last year’s afternoon practice time. FAMU’s new coaching regime has brought some changes, and the first is the team’s new 5:30 a.m. practice time.
Blount, along with the rest of the Rattlers’ spring roster, took to the field with enthusiasm, despite the sun not shining until the very end of practice — around 8 a.m.
“I feel like that sets us apart from a lot of other teams in the country,” Blount said. “Not too many other teams are up at 4:30 a.m. That’s what’s going to set us apart.”
First-year head coach Alex Wood said he felt good after watching his team in action.
