These seniors also made their mark
By Marcus Nelson
FAU will say farewell to a solid class of seniors today, most of whom were being recruited as the the group of seniors led by Chris Laskowski and Jared Allen were walking out the door.
The first group played its final game in the Fall of 2004 Just a few weeks later, Rusty Smith, Jason Harmon and Willie Rose among other signed with the Owls and redshirted in the Fall of 2005 preparing to see the first action in 2006.
The first group was successful, but the second group also will leave a legacy at a higher level after making it to two bowl games. The first group has a monument at the practice field and this class is worthy of similar recognition.
Here's the breakdown and congratulations to this year's seniors, who are playing their final home game today vs. Western Kentucky.
