Real Recruiting Standards · 2026-27 cycle

What it actually takes to run at Florida A&M
NCAA Division I · SWAC · FL
These aren’t published walk-on standards or estimates. They’re the real marks of the 13 athletes Florida A&M actually signed in its 2025-26 recruiting class — including 1 international signee. The honest answer to “would they recruit me?”
Florida A&M is a 7,796-student public campus in Tallahassee, FL and competes in the SWAC. Garfield Ellenwood II leads a staff of 3 covering 2 event groups.
“Median” is the middle signee’s PR; “range” runs from the fastest to the slowest mark in the class. 1500m/Mile and 3000m are converted to 1600m/3200m for comparison. Pulled from verified meet results.

Every verified mark in Florida A&M's 2025-26 class
7 of the 13 athletes signed have a verified high-school mark, shown here with the mark each was signed on. The other 6 have no verified mark on record, so they are left out rather than guessed. Not a published standard, not an estimate. Names, hometowns and the coach who recruited each athlete are the member view.
+ 1 international signee in this class — their marks are in the International view of the tables above, kept separate so the American numbers above stay readable as US high-school marks.
