FAMU’s defensive line coming together before season opener

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- All of Florida A&M’s defenders are getting used to a new scheme, but some players are working on getting used to entirely new positions.

Junior Calvin Darville will put his hand in the dirt as a defensive end for the first time this season, after playing outside linebacker to start his career at FAMU. Darville rounds out a starting defensive line of himself, sophomore Daikwon Fuse, senior Michael Lovejoy and redshirt sophomore Danzell Williams.

Darville said he’s looking forward to shining in his role in defensive coordinator Theo Lemon’s new 4-3 scheme.

“We’ve got what it takes up front,” he said. “It’s a different feeling (playing defensive end), but I’m getting used to it. Getting that pass rush is definitely important. It helps the linebackers, safeties and defensive backs out.”
