FAMU's Quinn Gray and Rattlers Stars Set to Compete in HBCU Legacy Bowl

FAMU
Posted By: Will Moss on February 22, 2026


Florida A&M University (FAMU) will be well-represented at the upcoming HBCU Legacy Bowl, with football legend Quinn Gray and several standout Rattlers players set to participate in the highly anticipated showcase event.

The HBCU Legacy Bowl serves as a premier platform for talented players from Historically Black Colleges and Universities to display their skills before NFL scouts and professional football decision-makers. This year's game will feature FAMU's top performers, continuing the university's tradition of producing elite football talent.

Key Takeaway: FAMU's presence at the HBCU Legacy Bowl underscores the Rattlers' continued excellence in developing NFL-caliber talent and maintaining the university's prominent position in HBCU football.

Quinn Gray, a former FAMU quarterback and one of the most celebrated players in Rattlers history, will be involved in this year's Legacy Bowl proceedings. Gray's participation highlights the strong connection between FAMU's storied football program and the HBCU Legacy Bowl's mission to elevate Black college football players to the professional ranks.

About the HBCU Legacy Bowl

The Legacy Bowl has become an essential event on the pre-NFL Draft calendar, providing HBCU athletes with increased visibility and opportunities to impress professional scouts.



The showcase game puts a national spotlight on the exceptional talent developed at HBCUs, institutions that have historically produced numerous NFL stars despite often receiving less media attention than larger programs.

For Florida A&M University, located in Tallahassee, Florida, participation in the Legacy Bowl represents another chapter in the school's rich football heritage. The Rattlers compete in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) and have long been recognized as one of the premier football programs among HBCUs.

The involvement of FAMU players and alumni like Quinn Gray in the Legacy Bowl reinforces the university's reputation as a pipeline to professional football. It also provides current Rattlers with invaluable exposure as they pursue their dreams of playing at the next level.

Fans and supporters interested in watching the HBCU Legacy Bowl will be able to tune in via television broadcast, with specific timing and network information available through local listings and the official Legacy Bowl channels. The game represents not only an opportunity for individual players to advance their careers but also a celebration of HBCU football excellence and the ongoing legacy of programs like FAMU.
