Quinn Gray Opens FAMU Spring Practice Amid Staff Restructuring, Portal Additions

Quinn Gray opened Florida A&M spring practice on Feb. 23, 2026, taking the first public step of an offseason that local coverage described as one of staff restructuring paired with targeted roster changes. The session at FAMU launched late February preparations that Gray will use to evaluate returning players alongside newcomers who arrived via the transfer portal.

The offseason work included staff restructuring around Gray’s program, a change local reporting highlighted when practice began on Feb. 23. That reshuffle was cited as a primary reason for the compressed timeline to spring work, with coaching personnel adjustments finalized in late February so position coaches could begin installing new schemes during spring drills.

Roster composition was a central theme of the Feb. 23 coverage. Florida A&M’s roster now mixes returning pieces from the 2025 class with several portal additions added during the winter window, and Gray’s first spring practice was positioned as the effort to integrate those arrivals. The combination of returners and transfers will define FAMU’s depth chart battles over the next several weeks of spring practice.

Spring practice on Feb. 23 also served as a checkpoint for Gray’s immediate priorities: assess quarterback competition, evaluate offensive line continuity, and measure linebacker depth with new faces from the portal. Local reports emphasized those three areas as focal points for the late February sessions, tying the staff restructuring to on-field assignments and positional coaching responsibilities.

Gray’s opening of spring practice on Feb. 23 closes the initial chapter of a late February overhaul at Florida A&M and begins the calendar work that will carry into spring scrimmages and summer preparation. With staff roles redefined and portal additions now on campus, Gray’s next public milestones will be positional evaluations during spring drills and how quickly the new roster pieces settle into the FAMU system.
