FAMU linebacker and Godby grad confident heading into 2015 season

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- William “Luke” Helms has a base of support — both on and off the field — because he chose to stay close to home for his college football career.

Helms, a junior linebacker and a leader on Florida A&M’s defense, came to the Rattlers in 2013 from Godby. He said whenever FAMU brings on a local recruit, he already has a history with the player.

“You’ve always got a base,” Helms said.

“You always see the people around and there are some guys who remember me from high school or I remember them. There’s that interesting dynamic. You don’t have to build a relationship, it’s already there because we played against each other.”

He added, “Of course, you’ve also got family and friends in town.”
