Staff

Courtesy of Florida A&M Athletics  Florida A&M men’s basketball signed two during the early signing period, one being guard Kjei Parker out of Winter Haven High School. “I’m elated over Kjei’s decision to further his academic and basketball endeavors at FAMU,” said Head Coach Robert McCullum. “I couldn’t be more excited about adding Kjei to our program.

Basketball season will soon tip-off on the highest of seven hills and these lebron XIX lows will be amongst the fleet of footwear the Rattlers will take to the hardwood.
