Fresno State football added 16 new recruits on Wednesday as part of the early signing period.
Eight of the future Bulldogs come from the Central Valley.
The big picture: Seven of the signees will bolster Fresno State’s offense, while the other nine recruits are slated to help out the defense.
- Two of the recruits come from California junior colleges, and four of the high school recruits come directly from Fresno and Clovis.
- Fresno State noted that 13 of the signees are listed as three-star recruits.
What they’re saying: “We are excited to add these 16 guys to our roster for next season with a group that brings versatility and talent on both sides of the ball,” said Head Coach Jeff Tedford in a statement.
- “This signing class is full of local products that our staff did a great job at keeping home to play in the Valley. We will have four mid-year additions, including two junior college transfers and two high school signees, who will be able to gain experience with us early on. Our staff recruited a good group of young men who have the qualities that it takes to be a Bulldog.”
