Ex-San Diego State wide receiver DeSean Holmes headlines 5 Florida Atlantic newcomers to watch in 2018

BOCA RATON — Florida Atlantic head coach Lane Kiffin may be divisive, but that same personality is why top talent continues to join one of the nation’s rising programs.

Kiffin’s reputation, from winning national championships at USC and Alabama to his popular Twitter account, has brought multiple players with Power Five offers and resumes to FAU over the past two years. With FAU entering 2018 with high expectations, the newest Owls – both freshmen and transfers – need to show they’re ready to contribute for the reigning Conference USA champions.

As was the case last year, Kiffin’s 2018 signing class was universally praised for its mix of JUCO and high school talent.
