Florida Atlantic’s roster during preseason camp was a rolodex of rotating names and numbers, with new transfers joining the Owls and old players departing. Many of the new players garnered attention nationally for landing at FAU after their past stops, and most of them were late arrivals into Boca Raton.
Defensive end Kain Daub (began at Florida State) arrived at FAU on Aug. 8. Defensive tackle Jeremiah Taleni (Pittsburgh) arrived Aug. 9. Receiver John Franklin III (Florida State, East Mississippi Community College and Auburn) got to Boca on Aug. 18.
Taleni has started both FAU games this season, but Daub and Franklin have seen limited snaps in losses to Navy and Wisconsin.
