The biggest name for FAMU on the All-SWAC awards is Ashton Grable , who made the second team for offensive linemen. The redshirt senior is one of HBCU's top prospects for the 2026 NFL Draft next April.
The Gordon, Georgia native has been named an HBCU All-American and will play in next February's HBCU Legacy Bowl in New Orleans.
Redshirt senior linebacker Jason Riles Jr. is on the All-SWAC Second Team. He led FAMU with 77 tackles, eight tackles for loss, three tackles for loss, and added 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble.
