Their days as teammates were done. Jonathan Ferrell was certain of that as he watched his younger brother, Willie, head off to the University of Mississippi to continue his football career.
But even before he played a down for Ole Miss, Willie had a change of heart and returned to Tallahassee where he and Jonathan helped FAMU High win a state championship in 2006. That year, Jonathan went to Florida A&M. Willie decided to join him but it wasn't until this season that the brothers finally reunited on the football field.
Both have had issues with academics, which they say are behind them now. Willie, a top prospect coming out of high school, is still trying to earn a starting position at linebacker. Jonathan is doing the same at safety. They couldn't be happier, though. After all, they're playing football together again for the same team.
