Receivers signed look very talented. Gregg at 6’3” is very fast and once he got the ball turns on the jets. Also fast on those kickoff returns. He may get a look early. Also liked the Saraland receiver strength, looks like he makes those tough catches and has speed. Logan the transfer looks like too could help immediately. I didn’t find much on the receiver Houser. The running backs that signed are all impressive coming in. Fletcher from West Morgan is short but is soo shifty and fast. He makes running back look easy? Felt sorry for some of those defenders that didn’t touch him let alone tackle him. Roderick is a little bigger at 6’0 and 190 and has got vision getting through the hole. He doesn’t run away from folks but did run through quite a few in 7A competition. Both backs look like capable receivers. I didn’t see much on the transfer back? He looks thick. Linebackers bring some size and tackling. Great we need those guys. The dline guys appears to be edge guys. Wouldn’t be surprised if brought in a transfer for the DT position. Starters are pretty solid there, but depth is so important. Also hope we bring in transfer for right tackle. Really hope the kickoff specialist is also familiar with field goals. Future is bright. Spring practice this year could really propel our team to compete for conference this year.

Interesting. Maybe a lot of these teams are waiting to see if they can grab portal guys? Or to see who's left for the late period? I'm not saying it's right or wrong, it's just interesting to see the differences. I do wonder if a trickle-down effect of the portal is that less high school guys sign at the FBS level and make their way to us. Of course, the downside to that is, when they play like an FBS player they might portal out. I'm sure some of that has to be happening already. It IS nice to see Dearmon make high school guys the biggest priority. I'm not saying he doesn't have ambition to move up the coaching ladder, but I'm happy that he isn't trying to win 10 games and skip town as fast as possible. Hopefully we're establishing a foundation for a new winning culture built around a lot of players that actually spend their entire college career here.

Any idea who he’s talking about? Has to be a transfer, right?

I wish I knew? Didn’t Muscle Shoals have a linebacker go to Alabama a couple of years ago? Maybe? Transfer portal closes in January 3rd correct? Wonder if we have some recruiting visits this weekend?

Rumor is that it is Jackson Bratton from Muscle Shoals.. 4 Star prospect out of High school, and he went to Alabama for 2 years. Transferred to UAB and was their starting MLB this year.

According to his Twitter, he will have 2 years of eligibility remaining. That would be a really nice addition to the defense. He was second on their team in tackles this year.

Bratton makes it official. And only playing one year, I guess.

Instant help for defense. Pretty excited about watching him play. Hope we have a few more surprises in the next day or so to have them go through spring practice. Spring practice makes a big difference.

We did have a couple of nice pickups this week. Ri Fletcher coming as receiver which is interesting after being a stud running back due to his speed the last few years at Hartselle. We should be extremely fast with all those Fletchers. Like the Grissom lineman pickup. He should help off the edge year one.

More cryptic tweeting from Coach. Maybe it's about recruiting, maybe not? I just want to know!

Two Pace HS (FL) player commits were featured on our local news in Pensacola tonight. One was going the Coastal Carolina and the other to UNA. He and his family decked out in UNA gear! Cool to see on our news. He’s a defensive player. They then went to UWF basketball scores with West Alabama. I like it when UNA is mentioned around here because I really want UWF to go to the ASUN so I can watch Lions games locally again. weartv.com/sports/high-school/pace-high-school-football-standouts-take-part-in-signing-ceremony
