FAMU’s offensive line coming together

Spring game: 2 p.m., Saturday, Bragg Memorial Stadium

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Keonte Cash has been a fixture on Florida A&M’s offensive line since 2013.

The 6-foot-1, 290-pound lineman said after going through numerous coaching changes last season, he’s pleased with what first-year head coach Alex Wood is bringing to the table, and he’s looking forward a successful season with a clear mission.

“I think the new coaches are solid and I like what they’re doing with the offense,” Cash said. “I think the scheme fits our play. I think, as a unit, we’ve grown closer and we know how to put the offense together.

“I think this year we’re just more on the same page. Last year we were kind of discombobulated and on separate pages.”

Offensive line coach Edwin Pata is the only coach from last year’s team retained by Wood. On National Signing Day, Pata — who originally came on staff in 2007, when Rubin Carter was the head of the football team, before working with Florida International for three years — said he’s excited for this season.
