  Whenever he's asked about the defense, FAU coach Willie Taggart is bound to mention two names: Jordan Helm and Ahman Ross. Taggart has dubbed Helm, a redshirt senior safety, as "Mr. Reliable," and his teammates understand why. "He's always in the right place at the right time," redshirt senior cornerback Korel Smith said. "He knows exactly what we're supposed to do, where he's supposed to be and he also knows where everyone else is supposed to be. And he makes plays too." The Jacksonville native is embracing the opportunity to be relied on each defensive play. Helm played behind Da'Von Brown last season as a reserve safety, which he attributed to his growth as a player. He played in all 14 games in 2019, recording 23 tackles (17 solo) and a fumble recovery. "Just how to be a field general," Helm said about what he learned watching Brown, "and communicate with other positions to make sure everyone's on the same page."

Helm credits his ability to know the playbook so well to having five defensive coordinators and four positions coaches during his time with the Owls, saying he's taken something from each of them. He has a desire to eventually become a coach after his playing career is over. "He's as sharp and perceptive as anybody I've been around," defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt said of Helm. "He's got length, range and gets himself in and out of situations well. He sees the game very well." - Sun-Sentinel

  Keyshawn Greene, a former Nebraska linebacker, announced Tuesday night that he's transferring to FAU. Greene, a true freshman, was the second highest-rated recruit in the Huskers' 2020 recruiting class and joins the Owls after entering the transfer portal Friday. Joining FAU gives Greene two opportunities he didn't have at Nebraska - be closer to home and possibly play this season. The Crawfordville native went to Wakulla High School and is the third Floridian from Nebraska's 2020 recruiting class to transfer from the program, joining Jaiden Francois and Henry Gray. Francois transferred to Central Florida, while Gray went to FIU. Nebraska's season is being moved to the spring after the Big Ten announced in mid-August it postponed its fall 2020 football season due to the coronavirus pandemic. - Sun-Sentinel

  FAU football coach Willie Taggart may need more time before naming a starting quarterback for the 2020 season, but it appears one Owl stood out above the rest during their first scrimmage. Redshirt juniors Nick Tronti and Justin Agner, redshirt freshman Javion Posey and true freshman Willie Taggart Jr. are in the midst of a competition to see who'll replace Chris Robison as FAU's starting quarterback due to Robison no longer being on the team. "If I had to pick someone that probably stood out the most," Taggart said, "it would be Posey." Posey was highlighted multiple times in the information about the situational scrimmage released by Florida Atlantic, including a 65-yard touchdown pass graduate transfer wide receiver Aaron Young.

Taggart also commended the play of the running backs, especially senior tailback BJ Emmons, who recorded three scores. Emmons was recently named to the Reese's Senior Bowl Top 250. "Our running backs have been showing what they can do all training camp," Taggart said. "We're really loaded back there. BJ had a really good scrimmage. I've been really impressed with how he's been practicing." - Sun-Sentinel

  2021 SENIOR BOWL WATCH LIST: BJ Emmons, Florida Atlantic,...After joining the Owls in January of 2019, Emmons carried his first Owl football for a gain of one yard in the season opener at Ohio State. He then caught a pass for a setback of two yards, but more importantly Emmons' season was also set back by a broken ankle. Everyone thought the Morganton, North Carolina native, an Athlon Sports and Phil Steele's Magazine preseason C-USA Third Team honoree, would lose the year to the injury, but he had a different mindset. Ten games (and 84 days) later, he led the Owls with 10 carries for 53 yards and two scores in a victory over UTSA, a game that secured home field advantage for the 2019 Conference USA Championship. He tallied 51 carries on the year, averaging 4.6 yards per carry, and scored six times. Emmons tallied 71 yards on 11 carries versus Southern Miss, led nine Owl ballcarriers in carries in the C-USA title game win, and led the Owls with 17 carries and 72 yards in the 2019 Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl win over SMU. That marked the Owls' second Boca Raton Bowl win in three seasons. - Florida Atlantic Football

  2020 PRESEASON ALL-CONFERENCE USA TEAM (COACHES): OL Desmond Noel, R-Sr., Florida Atlantic,...Noel joined the Owls and the Owls' offensive line two weeks into the 2019 campaign. The Fort Scott Community College transfer and Cincinnati, Ohio native made an immediate impact, contributing to FAU's 45-27 win over Charlotte and then as a starter in the next nine games. The Owls would go on to capture the Conference USA and Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl Championships. Noel was part of a line that provided protection for 6,280 yards of offense, made up of 3,956 through the air and 2,324 yards on the ground. - Florida Atlantic Football

  FAU safety Quran Hafiz is opting out the 2020 season due to the coronavirus pandemic. Hafiz made the announcement Saturday afternoon on Twitter, becoming the first Owl to opt-out of the season. The NCAA is allowing student-athletes to opt-out of the fall 2020 season without losing their scholarship "due to concerns about contracting COVID-19." Hafiz played in all 14 of FAU's games last season, recording 33 tackles (17 solo). He said that he's going to redshirt the 2020 season and plans to play for the Owls in 2021 as a redshirt senior. - Sun-Sentinel

  Andrew Boselli knows first-hand the devastating impact of COVID-19. The redshirt senior offensive lineman contracted the virus on March 21 a few days after his father, former Jacksonville Jaguars Pro Bowl lineman Tony Boselli, was diagnosed with COVID-19. The disease attacked Andrew Boselli's body, leaving him with a 103-degree fever, a lack of energy and no appetite. He also struggled with shortness of breath. Tony Boselli wound up in the intensive care unit of the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. Father and son survived, as did Andrew's mother and brother, who also tested positive for COVID-19 a few days later. The experience inspired the Florida State redshirt senior to share his experiences with others with the hope they take the virus seriously and try to avoid getting sick.

"I think we've done a great job as a team," Boselli said following the team's first practice Friday. "It starts with the team captains and goes throughout our team as personal responsibility and self-policing. "Me, personally knowing how this virus can affect people, it's really awesome to see my teammates be accountable and making sure we're masked up on the practice field, in the dining room and wherever we're going around the facilities. We're keeping each other accountable and being personally accountable, so you are doing everything you can to protect your teammates." Boselli is battling with Baveon Johnson and Maurice Smith this fall for the starting center job. - Orlando Sentinel

  Now, new FAU coach Willie Taggart will head into fall camp looking for a new starting quarterback. Redshirt junior Nick Tronti is expected to be the front-runner for the starting role. Tronti, a former Indiana quarterback, was Robison's backup last season. He completed 17 passes on 22 attempts for 180 yards, two touchdowns and one interception last season with the Owls. Tronti excelled as a dual-threat quarterback, rushing for 239 yards and two touchdowns on 51 attempts. Redshirt junior Justin Agner, redshirt freshman Javion Posey and true freshman Willie Taggart Jr. are the three other quarterbacks listed on FAU's 2020 fall camp roster. - Sun-Sentinel

  FAU's quarterback contingent took a major hit before the start of its 2020 fall football camp. Starting quarterback Chris Robison was left off the Owls' 2020 roster, which was released Tuesday afternoon. A university spokesperson said he's no longer with the team. Robison started all 14 games for FAU last year, completing 61.3% of his passes for a program-record 3,701 yards, 28 touchdowns and six interceptions en route to receiving first-team All-Conference USA recognition for the 2019 season. - Sun Sentinel

He was added to the Owls' 2020 roster after not being listed for the past couple of months and FAU coach Willie Taggart declining to comment on the status of the senior linebacker in late-June. - Sun-Sentinel
