James Colzie III is tailoring his second Florida A&M football team to become who and what he wants it to be.
A significant step to accomplishing that was Wednesday’s National Signing Day, where the Rattlers are projected to add 27 new players for the 2025 football season thus far. According to a signing day document provided by FAMU football, 24 of those recruits have already signed their National Letter of Intent to join the Rattlers.
The Rattlers’ haul of talent adds to a team that returns seven offensive starters, eight defensive starters, and 35 seniors.
Florida A&M head football coach James Colzie III addresses Rattler Nation at the first 220 Quarterback Club Luncheon of 2024 at the Old West Florida Enrichment Center in Tallahassee, Florida, Wednesday, February 28, 2024.
Colzie was the featured speaker at Wednesday’s Eddie Jackson 220 Quarterback Club to discuss his signing class.
“In our recruiting process, we were more about getting the right people and fits,” said Colzie, who guided the Rattlers to a 7-5 record in 2024. “We didn’t want to bring in [just] anybody. We may have fallen victim to that last year.”
Twenty of FAMU’s projected 27 newcomers, transfers and high schoolers, are from Florida.
“When I look at our recruiting class, one of the biggest things I like to do is make sure we got guys from the state,” Colzie explained. “We were able to attract guys who have gone other places but wanted to return to Florida. We helped them pack and brought them back to Tallahassee. It’s extremely important to do that.”
