FAU Football "hOWLettes"

National NCAA Signing Day is quickly approaching and that means crunch time for a group of women called the hOWLettes at FAU. President Katie Matthews is in charge of group of girls that escort football recruits, as well as their parents, around FAU.

This hard working group of student volunteers attends all home football games during the fall semester. They are in charge of a group of prospects and aim to ethically show them everything FAU has to offer. “It allows them to get involved in student life and they are a great asset for the program since they are students and can answer questions that coaches can't," said FAU coach Howard Schnellenberger.

Other schools have been in the news recently because of similar organizations unethically recruiting students. The University of Tennessee's "Orange Bride" has been fighting allegations of attending prospective recruits high school football games. “We would never do that,” Matthews said. “We keep everything very professional. The only time we see them is either on campus or at the football games.”
