There's a familiar face in town.

Trey Fisher is returning to Tallahassee to join the Florida A&M football team.

The former Godby football quarterback has transferred from the University of Tennessee-Martin.

The son of former Florida State NCAA National Championship winning Head Coach Jimbo Fisher enrolled at FAMU in the spring 2022 semester and has two years left of eligibility.

Fisher, a rising junior also had contemplated transferring to FAMU last fall for the 2021 football season.

FAMU coach Willie Simmons cherishes the opportunity of having a member of a title-winning bloodline along with a former Big-Bend student-athlete on the roster.

"Trey is a welcome addition to an already talented quarterback room," Simmons said. "Being the son of a championship head coach, he brings a wealth of knowledge to the room.

"We're also very excited to add another player from the capital city of Tallahassee to the team."
