Former FIU/Syracuse 3⭐ OLB Latarie Kinsler Jr. (Pahokee H.S. FL) has committed to Florida A&M University | 1A All-State (FL)

Latarie Kinsler Jr. BIO

Highest rated Syracuse recruit in 2020 class with 87.7 rating on 247 Sports. A freak athlete, Kinsler could be an elite pass rusher for FAMU because his intangibles (speed, quickness, athleticism) are off the charts. Received first offer from FAMU on 11/11/21 by FAMU Coach Milton Patterson, the Rattlers current Defensive Coordinator. Welcome, FAMUly!!!
