TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- While Florida A&M’s football team reported for the first day of fall football camp, Milton Overton Jr., the university’s new athletic director, settled into his new office.Overton officially started his tenure Monday. He’ll be meeting with coaches and members of the athletic department throughout the week, and Thursday he’ll provide an update to FAMU’s Board of Trustees.
Baseball coach Jamey Shouppe, who was a member of the committee that interviewed the top three AD candidates in June, said he’ll have his one-on-one meeting with Overton on Tuesday, though he – and a few other coaches – had a couple of minutes with the new AD on Monday.
“We’re just excited,” Shouppe said.
“There’s so much room for growth and (Overton) is just a good guy. It starts with the character of a man and he just has a good aura about him. I’m looking forward to seeing where FAMU can go with him and President (Elmira) Mangum at the helm.”
