Former Florida State tight Koby Gross has found a new home to finish out his three remaining years of eligibility, and he won’t have to go far as he has decided to commit to FAMU.

Koby Gross came to FSU in the 2021 class. He was an enticing prospect with size and speed. Despite not playing for Diablo Community College due to the pandemic, head coach Mike Norvell took Gross because of the potential he offered in the FSU offense.

The much-debated former 'Nole was able to show flashes in practice and he was looking to take the next step this past spring. An unfortunate foot injury kept him out of spring so he wasn’t able to show the progress on the field that he had made off it.

A few weeks ago, Gross entered the NCAA Transfer Portal. After getting some interest from Power 5 programs and some FCS schools, Gross initially was going to head back to California and re-enroll at Diablo.

This week he took a visit to FAMU. After spending time on campus with Coach Simmons, Gross has decided to enroll there in the summer. With their need for tight ends in their offense and the way Gross connected with the coaching staff, FAMU was the right fit for him.

Gross will be eligible immediately eligible for the Rattlers and has a chance to impact the team as soon as this fall.
