Gauging the five most intriguing players of FAMU football’s 2024 recruiting class thus far

The Florida A&M Rattlers are trying to emulate success on the football field of last year.

But the team will look slightly different under new head coach James Colzie III and his inaugural recruiting class.

Hired on Jan. 27, Colzie replaces former Rattlers head coach Willie Simmons, who left to become Duke’s running backs coach on Jan 1.

As Colzie prepares for his first season of leading FAMU football, he’s tasked with filling the voids of key Rattlers who helped the team win its first Southwestern Athletic Conference and Celebration Bowl championships last season.

FAMU has some gems joining Colzie’s 2024 Rattlers football team. And that’s with the spring’s NCAA Transfer Portal period left to spare.

So, here’s the most intriguing new Rattlers.

Brekien Harold | Freshman Defensive Lineman | Chaminade-Madonna

Brekien Harold is among the few high school signees in FAMU’s 2024 recruiting class.

The defensive lineman comes to FAMU from MaxPreps’ No. 2 football team in the nation, Chaminade-Madonna College Preparatory School in Hollywood. Last December, the Lions won the Florida High School Athletic Association Class 1M State Championship on the Rattlers’ Ken Riley Field at Bragg Memorial Stadium.

The 6-foot-3, 300-pounder finished with 50 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, and 4.5 sacks for Chaminade-Madonna as a senior last season.

Additionally, Harold played most of his high school football career at Cardinal-Gibbons in Fort Lauderdale, where he won a FHSAA 4A State Championship.

Harold held offers from Georgia Southern and FAMU’s rival Bethune-Cookman, among other programs, before signing his National Letter of Intent last Wednesday.
