What's Happening?
Florida Atlantic Owls football team is ranked 111th in RJ Young's Ultimate 136 rankings for 2025. The team has improved from last year's ranking of 123, largely due to the performance of quarterback Caden Veltkamp, who was named C-USA Offensive Player of the Year. Veltkamp led the conference in passing yards and touchdowns last season. The team is under the new leadership of offensive coordinator Zach Kittley, who aims to replicate the success of former coach Lane Kiffin. The Owls' schedule includes non-conference games against North Alabama, Toledo, and LSU.
