Idaho Vandals sign 19 athletes on the first day of the Early Signing Period, with a focus on defense. The class includes players from Idaho, Washington, California, Wisconsin, Oregon, and Arizona. The team has picked up eight defensive linemen, three offensive linemen, three linebackers, two defensive backs, two receivers, and a quarterback. The class is expected to grow in the coming days as the signing period lasts until Friday.
Six of the Idaho signees are from the Treasure Valley, with five being defensive linemen. The class is smaller than in previous years, with only 19 athletes signed compared to 40 in previous seasons under head coach Jason Eck.
One standout signee is Sawyer Hewitt from Kendrick, Idaho, who is a versatile athlete projected to play wide receiver for the Vandals. Idaho will be hosting Lehigh in the second round of the FCS Playoffs on Saturday at 6 p.m. at the P1FCU Kibbie Dome.
The signing class includes athletes from various states, with a mix of positions and talents. The team is looking forward to seeing how these new additions will contribute to future successes on the football field.
