The FAMU National Rattler "F" is always a highlight of the banquet, with their presentation of lettermen's jackets. This year, over 40 athletes received their jackets from the support organization. FAMU Sports Hall of Famer, and former football great Rudy Givens, as well as other members of the "F" Club, were on hand to deliver the jackets to the athletes.
