FAMU AD Tiffany Dawn Sykes has surpassed them all!! 👀👀

FAMU has had its share of controversial figures, including Castel Bryant, James Corbin, Kellen Winslow, and Elmira Mangum, to name a few. However, I think Tiffany Sykes has surpassed them all, which says a lot. Her tenure at FAMU will have a lasting impact. #PrayingForBetterDays

We fought hard & came out of a hostile gym with the win! Big game by Gibson, Daniels, and Gilyot.
