Staying home, is Malakei Owens who will rep the orange and green of Florida A&M. Overall, a big day for the blue and white, and for Owens, he is pumped to be headed to the highest of seven hills.
"What really excites me is like the HBCU movement, I really like the movement and FAMU is definitely on the rise, it's a very high HBCU, and really just staying home, close to my family and not long distance or anything like that, yeah that played a big part of it, staying a hometown hero," said Owens. "It's a day I dreamed of as a kid, like I worked hard for this and I am very thankful for it."
