Florida A&M bolstered their defensive unit this week, securing a commitment from former Mississippi Valley State linebacker Jayren Fox, who will arrive on the Highest of Seven Hills as a graduate transfer.
“First and foremost I just want to give all glory and praise to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank you MVSU for an amazing 4 years. With that being said I am 1000% committed to FAMU”, said Fox in a post to his X account. “@CoachPatt_212 I’m so humbled and thankful for the opportunity. Proverbs 3:5-6.”
