Quinn Gray discusses FAMU football's low preseason rankings for 2026

Summary

Florida A&M football head coach Quinn Gray addressed the team's low preseason rankings during SWAC Media Day on July 15. The Rattlers were picked to finish fourth in the SWAC East and received no preseason All-SWAC team selections. Gray emphasized that preseason accolades are just opinions and not reflective of reality. He believes the lack of recognition could motivate his team ahead of their season opener against Albany State on August 29. Following a 5-7 season in 2025 and recent coaching changes, FAMU aims to regain respect in the conference with a revamped roster.
