Lane Kiffin has added a very famous football name to his Florida Atlantic football program.
After making an official visit to the campus this past weekend, Warren Sapp II has decided to play his college football for FAU. At least initially, the high school defensive end will join the Owls as a preferred walk-on, with the goal of earning a scholarship for next season.
And, yes, Sapp II is the son of Miami Hurricanes All-American and Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Sapp.
“It was comfortable and it felt right,” the younger Sapp told FAUOwlAccess.com about his visit to FAU. “It felt good.”
Per the lineman, he would’ve accepted a walk-on offer from UCF had he not gotten one from FAU after his visit.
As a senior at Freedom Academy in Florida, Sapp II totaled 24 sacks as well as another 28 tackles for loss. Despite those gaudy numbers, the website wrote, “major colleges shied away from the 6-1, 220-pound Sapp II” because of his size.
The only scholarship offers Sapp II received were from FCS programs.
