FAU builds around explosive offense ahead of Florida opener

Preseason coverage points to strong continuity around quarterback Caden Veltkamp, tight end Easton Messer, and Zack Kittley's aggressive passing system. FAU must replace or rework pieces at running back and across the defense after allowing 38.4 points per game in 2025, making the September 5 road opener at Florida the first major test of the rebuild.
