Isaiah Land was a zero-star recruit out of high school and received no interest from any FBS schools. He got an offer from Florida A&M and enrolled in 2018 where he redshirted the first year. In his junior season, Land won awards after leading the FCS in both sacks and tackles for loss. He entered the transfer portal before his senior season and got offers from very high profile programs like Georgia, but ultimately chose to stay playing for the Rattlers in 2022.
During his time at Florida A&M, Land played a total of 1,120 snaps on defense at linebacker.
