2020 RECRUITING

Two more recruits committed during the holiday.

Earl Hodson VI and DeVaughn Houston. Updated the lists on page 1 of the thread.

Recruits are filing in.
 
And another commit today.

Xavier Williams. A 6’3 250 pound DE/TE from Atwater HS in Fairfield after previously playing at Patterson HS. Also updated on the list.

Interesting tidbit on this one is Xavier is the younger brother of current Hornets WR Pierre Williams.

The following was taken from a Merced Sun Star article from back in August.

Williams has already received a scholarship offer from Sacramento State, where his older brother Pierre plays as a receiver.

“It would be great to play with my brother again,” Xavier said..” He’s always been my guy, the one I always ask questions. He’s always helped me.”

Williams has also drawn interest from colleges like Fresno State, Nevada, UNLV, San Jose State, Cal and Northern Arizona

Wow - looks like a great get for the program!
 
Just saw this posted on twitter.

It’s an interview with Hornets commit Jalen Speed. Topics include why he chose Sac State and what position(s) he was recruited to play.

If he ends up at corner, he’s got great size for the position. It’s not all that often the Hornets have fielded a 6’2 CB. Here’s hoping he doesn’t get poached prior to the early signing period in a couple weeks.

This one seems a little more cryptic, since it didn't include the typical official commitment anouncement, but it looks like the Hornets landed another.

Darian Pollard. 6-1 215 LB. From Lincoln-Stockton HS. Updated on the page 1 list.
 
Hornets pick up 3 star DB Patrick Dean with offers from BYU, Colorado State, Utah State, San Diego State, Hawaii, Nevada and New Mexico!

This kid is a track athlete too. Probably had a little something to do with his decision.

Big day tomorrow!
 
Wow... watching this class come together on the Hornet Twitter this morning. Solid production quality - great coach comments - possibly the strongest recruiting class ever...

Only one I saw was Mike Walters flipped to UC Davis.
2 stars recruit from Huntington Beach. Tough loss, could have use depth in the LB department

But getting Mitchell Wolfe, the 3 star from Summer Washington make the loss not as huge

Probably why he flipped...
 
The EWU Recruiting class is absolutely insane by the way...

Like what I see - coaches focused on the right positions...

Sure hope there is some speed and elusiveness in that WR bunch. We have enough possession receivers.

Also hoping for some help coming from the red-shirts in last years class.

Could have something to do with it. Wolfe committed about 10 days after Walters. IDK.

Sucks to lose a recruit to a rival.
 
Here’s the official early signing list. Had most of these guys accounted for, but a few surprises we didn’t know about.

Of course, there can also be a few more adds in February and PWO. Don’t know how many scholarships they’ve got left. I know they offered a nice looking QB from Arizona too, I’m gonna look to see if he committed anywhere or if he’s waiting til February.

The early signing period will run through Dec. 20. Following that date, teams will be able to sign players beginning on Feb. 5.

CLASS BREAKDOWN (includes December signees)
OFFENSE (6): 3 wide receivers, 1 running back, 2 offensive linemen
DEFENSE (10): 7 defensive backs, 2 defense linemen, 1 linebacker
SPECIALISTS (0): None

Add on 3 Star*** DB/ATH Cameron Broussard from Folsom to that group! He had an offer from SJSU but chose to stay home and play for the Hornets!

The QB you are referring to is Parker Navarro, doesn’t look like he has signed yet.

Yep. Another surprise! Good get!

Updated the list above.

They added DB’s with good size. A far cry from the days of undersized CB’s.
