The 2021 FCS Defensive Player of the Year, FAMU Rattlers linebacker/defensive end Isaiah Land, entered the NCAA transfer portal on Sunday after a redshirt junior season that saw him emerge from an unknown to the national leader with 19 sacks.
A Buffalo, New York native who attended national powerhouse Grayson High School in Georgia, Land landed at FAMU as a member of the 2018 class and didn’t start to emerge until producing two sacks and five tackles for loss in nine games during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.
In 2021, Land was unstoppable off the edge, notching 25.
