A new era of Arkansas Tech football took another milestone step on Wednesday as new head football coach Roy Thompson announced the signing of his first recruiting class. The initial class features 32 signees with all but two coming from the prep ranks.
"We are excited about the young men that we added to the Wonder Boy family today," said Thompson. "We were able to address our needs in several areas with stellar athletes all around, but especially in our defensive line, wide receiver and running back rooms."
The state producing the most future Wonder Boys was Texas as Thompson and his staff signed 16 players from Texas. Looking to recruit locally as well as regionally Thompson's first signing class at Tech features nine from the Natural State and three from our neighbors to the south in Louisiana. The states of Alabama, Arizona, Georgia and Mississippi are also represented in the class.
"Our coaches did a great job signing top talent from Arkansas, Texas and Louisiana," added Thompson. I look forward to seeing these guys in Green and Gold!"
In terms of position breakdown, the Wonder Boys inked 17 players on defense, 13 on offense, while two are listed as an athlete.
On the defensive side, most signees are coming to Tech to battle in the trenches as the Wonder Boys added nine linemen. Six players were added as linebackers while two bolster the defensive backfield.
Offensively, the Wonder Boys focused on skill position players and along the line. A total of five wide receivers were added to the mix along with three running backs and three offensive linemen. Additionally, they inked a quarterback and a tight end.
