Jason Beach is a defensive back for the Florida A&M Rattlers football team, trying to get an extra year of eligibility after leaving school to help his family with recovery from Hurricane Dennis in 2004.
But to listen to Joe Taylor, he’d just as soon not have Beach back.
I’m not too optimistic to be honest with you,” Taylor said following Monday’s practice, which Beach didn’t attend.
“He has gotten what he came here for,” Taylor said. “He has gotten his degree.”
“We watched the film the other day and I don’t know that he could really help us,” Taylor said. “It’s so good to have great film. It lets you know how hungry a guy is.”
I’m not going to be the one that questions a man with a such a grand mustache, but it is interesting that you wouldn’t want to go out for a kid that grauduated with honors, left for extraordinary personal reasons, and just wants to bring closure to a football career. Besides, 136 tackles and five interceptions in 27 games is not bad for a former walk-on quarterback.

He also got an interception in the first game this year against Alabama State. One of the above interceptions was run back for a touchdown. To add to that he is the only returning FAMU player to make the All-MEAC first team (2006). I am not referring to the Political preseason team.
