Simmons: “We have 26 guys that have not been certified to compete for various reasons. We have a couple that are academically ineligible. Other guys have issues within our university structure that are preventing them from being certified. These guys are on schedule to graduate.”
— Dominic Miranda (@DomMirandaTV) August 29, 2022
Simmons said there are 26 players that are not certified to play. They are working to get them certified by the NCAA.

Simmons said coaches currently are providing academic support to players - that’s something he never experienced as a player.
— Alison Posey (@AlisonPosey14) August 29, 2022
“We don’t have that support at the academic level.”
Said all of the problems they are having are fixable.
Clarifies that most guys are doing what they need to do in the classroom. Some of these cases are completely out of the players control. #FAMU #Rattlers

The player FAMU flew up Saturday was TJ Demas (true freshman offensive lineman). It was a player they got certified late.

No change yet. Coach said this morning that they are working on getting those guys certified.
