2012 Recruiting Class is Complete!

The 28 signatures are in and here is a list and note on each of the recruits (plus Alex Kelley who is greyshirting from last year and is enrolled and will play in Spring ball) and one “committed preferred walk-on”.  Embree is excited (as all coaches are today) and said three quarters of these kids (definitely some of the D-linemen) have a chance to see playing time this season. He also has one scholarship offer “in the pocket” just in case (but not for 3-star ATH Jontrey Tillman (Baldwin, LA) who didn't get into Stanford, but opted for Houston instead).
