You can see a full list of guys who have officially signed so far here: https://goleathernecks.com/signingday/f ... ootball/6/

A little more than half (of the ones who are listed so far) are early signees, so no big surprises there.
Justin Wallace is one that I didn't have on my list though: https://goleathernecks.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=17337
He's a "today" signee, a 5'6" 225lb TE from Albion, IL

My schedule has been thrown off by kids being off school today, so I'll work on getting some other info on here later when I get a chance.

You don't see many 5'6" TEs in D1 :-)

Yes, that...what he said. I was in a rush to get something posted before I headed in to work. He's 6' 5"....not 5' 6". That can work for a RB, but generally not so much at the TE position.

So what do you think? Coach looks fired up but a bit tired. Don't have any problems with the fact that they waited to announce until today! ;) jc

I’m excited to see a full listing of all of the kids from the early signing and today to watch their highlights and such. Super excited for those twins from Texas too.

On a sad note, NDSU has a class of 38.... 38! (Including walk ons. Beebe being one of them.)

Good for them...but they can still only have 63 scholarships total and 11 players on the field at one time.

Scott, Any surprises, good or bad, from what you can tell. Anybody not sign with us that was expected to?

One thing I have noticed about the Bison is they generally dont go after the 290-300 pound big guys in high school. Their incoming linemen tend to be closer to 250. Probably quickness is what they look for, knowing they can put on the poundage and muscle down the road. If you bring in a 300 pounder, it is going to take a long time on the exercise bike to shed that baby fat before building up.
Embrace the pace of the race.
