Athlon Sports announced its 2022 FCS Preseason All-American Team for this upcoming season, and two FAMU Rattlers were featured on the list. FAMU is the only HBCU to have anyone named to the FCS Preseason All-American Team.
The selections from the Rattlers’ roster were linebacker Isaiah Land and receiver Jah’Marae Sheread.
Land earned a spot after having a historic season for the Rattlers in 2021. Land finished the season leading the nation in sacks and tackles for loss as he was named the 2021 Buck Buchanan Award winner. Land also set a school record with the most sacks in a single game, making five against South Carolina State.
Sheread, a receiver/ punt returner, earned a spot after leading the nation in yards per punt return with 19.9. Sheread had 358 punt return yards and one punt return touchdown.
