A two-sport scholarship athlete, Sean Gilliam contributed to the football program as
a running back, scoring two touchdowns in 1988, while simultaneously excelling on
FAMU’s baseball team. In 1989, he set a MEAC single-season batting average record at
.448, a mark that stood for more than 35 years. He also held the school home-run record
(15) for over three decades. Gilliam was selected by the New York Yankees in the 1989
MLB Draft, spending seven years in the minor league system.
