Florida A&M’s Colzie to speak at Macon Touchdown Club
First-year head coach James Colzie III of Florida A&M is Monday’s speaker at the Macon Touchdown Club.
The club meets at the Methodist Home for Children and Youth, in the Rumford Center, at 304 Pierce Ave. It starts at 6:30 p.m. with dinner and the program to begin around 7. Admission for non-members is $30.
UGA legend Kevin Butler is next week’s speaker, and then Army head coach Jeff Monken.
Colzie was named last January as FAMU’s 19th head coach, promoted from associated head coach and defensive backs coach after two seasons.
He has Georgia ties, coaching at Valdosta State in 2007 and West Georgia from 2008-11, starting his full-time coaching career with the Blazers.
The 49-year-old went on to work at Southern Arkansas, Simon Fraser, Coffeyville Junior College, University of British Columbia, and St. Mary’s (Canada).
He went 18-20 at St. Mary’s in Canada.
The Miami native played football at Florida State from 1993-96 and was a regular on the 1993 national championship team, and spent a year on the Seminoles’ baseball team.
Colzie’s father is in the Florida High School Association Hall of Fame, and his World War II veteran grandfather was a Negro League pitcher who has a street named after him in Miami. His uncle played in the NFL for Oakland, Miami, and Tampa Bay.
The 4-3 Rattlers have one Central Georgian, offensive lineman Ashton Grable of Wilkinson County.
