TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida A&M quarterback RJ Johnson III and kicker Daniel Porto have earned Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) weekly honors after leading the Rattlers to another strong showing on the gridiron. Johnson was named Co-Newcomer of the Week, while Porto earned Specialist of the Week recognition.

Johnson, a first-year starter for FAMU, turned in a commanding performance through the air, completing 26 of 38 passes for 323 yards and one touchdown without throwing an interception. The Rattlers' offense found rhythm under his leadership, with Johnson consistently connecting on key passes — including a long completion of 33 yards — while avoiding costly mistakes and absorbing just two sacks.

Meanwhile, senior kicker Daniel Porto continued his steady season by drilling four field goals, including a career-long 51-yarder just before halftime. Porto's accuracy proved critical, as he finished 4-for-5 on the day, converting kicks from 36, 28, 51, and 38 yards. His consistency and range helped secure FAMU's offensive momentum throughout the contest.
