Early signing period is in a few days. Any updates on the class of 2021?

Not much yet, but I've seen a handful of offers go out just today.
I've been retweeting any that I see here: https://twitter.com/LeatherneckFans

Complete guess on my part, but I don't see us being real active at the early signing date. Way too many unknowns of who we will have back, who will be asked not to come back, and who decides to move on.

Cooper Bledsoe, 6'0" 200lb, SS/FS
https://www.hudl.com/profile/7173216/Cooper-Bledsoe
Bledsoe is coming in as a senior. It's a little hard to nail down exactly where he's been and when, but it looks like he was on Indiana State's team in 2017 (as shown in the photo at the top of this article) and in 2018 was on the roster at Northwestern State. He also has Tyler Junior College in Tyler, TX (which is also his hometown) listed on his hudl page, and judging by the videos he has posted, that's where he was playing in 2019. I'd imagine last year was either a situation where his school decided not to play football or he opted out for the season (they don't have any roster listed for 2020, so I'm guessing the school didn't play last fall).

Just so everyone is aware, NLI signing day for football is coming up on February 3. They won't be officially releasing the list of signees until that day, but we might start to see things heating up on that front a bit in the next couple of weeks.
