.@FAUFootball's @CoachTaggart: We have a good plan in place. We're getting tested, we're checking temperatures. We have masks and are keeping up with social distancing. It is important to educate the players on following CDC guidelines.

.@FAUFootball's @CoachTaggart on @MarinelliShane's question about recruiting: Our coaches are doing a great job of building relationships and sharing our vision of our program. We're showing off our campus on Zoom and it's paid off. It's been going really well for us.

.@FAUFootball's @CoachTaggart: Our players spoke up. White kids, black kids, coaches, they all spoke from the heart. We have some special young men on this football team who will become our future leaders.

.@FAUFootball's @CoachTaggart: We have "Real Life Wednesdays" where our chief goal is to educate our players. That's when we helped them register to vote. That's when we have community leaders speak to the guys. There's so much more to life beyond football.

.@FAUFootball's @CoachTaggart: It's more than football. We helped our players get registered to vote. But it's also about education, on civics, so they know what they're voting for.

.@FAUFootball's @CoachTaggart: We had the Mayor of Boca Raton @ScottSingerUSA talk to the players. There were great discussions and points of learning about government and leadership. We'll have some police chiefs this week.
