FAMU's Simmons looks forward to signing day
TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Willie Simmons may not know what to do with an extra hour of sleep on National Signing Day.
On the other hand, Florida A&M’s new football coach may find sleep difficult due to the hubbub that continues to build around his program.
“The excitement of not only the local community, but coaches, administrators, teachers throughout the high schools we have recruited, just the excitement that they’ve seen Florida A&M coaches actively recruiting their schools,” Simmons said Tuesday morning from his campus office.
“That’s probably been the biggest compliment that we’ve gotten over the last three weeks is how excited they are that we are back in their schools recruiting.”
Simmons has worked nonstop since his introductory press conference in mid-December.
