With the kick-off to the college football season just over a month away, FAU fans received some big news Monday morning as linebacker Akileis Leroy had been added back to the active roster.
Leroy, who had been suspended since the Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl, is back on the active roster for the first time since shortly before the bowl game.
With linebacker Rashad Smith gone to the NFL and Hosea Barnwell now in the transfer portal, it was very important for the Owls to get Leroy back on the team. Defensive end Leighton McCarthy, safety Zyon Gilbert and Leroy, are the only returning starters on defense.
