The first is former Coastal Carolina running back Isaiah Connelly, who transfers to the Rattlers with three years of eligibility remaining.

The other three-star recruit Florida A&M added is former Kansas wide receiver DeVonte Wilson.
Also a Florida native, Wilson attended Munroe High School where he was among the top defensive backs in the state.
There he finished his senior season with 13 receptions for 335 yards and five touchdowns as a wide receiver. He also had reps as a defensive back recording eight tackles (six solo tackles), two passes defended an interception and a fumble recovery.
