Florida A&M football is getting national exposure on one of ESPN’s signature shows.
On Tuesday, Aug. 4, head coach Quinn Fordham Gray Sr. will join “The Paul Finebaum Show” to discuss his Rattler football team, FAMU announced on social media.
Gray will be on the college football show’s 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time block on the SEC Network and can also be heard on ESPN Radio. The “Paul Finebaum Show” has been a fixture of ESPN and the SEC Network for more than a decade.
The FAMU coach is one of the hottest names in the Southwestern Athletic Conference and Black College Football entering the 2026 football season, as the Hall of Fame and former record-setting quarterback takes over at his alma mater. He looks to rebuild the Rattlers from a 5-7 record a year ago after signing a five-year deal worth $1.4 million.
Gray previously coached the Albany State Golden Rams for three seasons from 2023 to 2025. He led the team to a Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title, then went on to claim the NCAA Division II Black College Football National Championship in his final season at South Georgia Historically Black College and University.
Training camp is currently underway for the Rattlers. The team completed the first day in shells at its fourth practice on Monday, Aug. 3.
FAMU opens its season on Aug. 29, hosting Albany State in Tallahassee on Ken Riley Field at Bragg Memorial Stadium.
