At least he is D1 size.

Logan Swartz committed last night. His twitter says he is a 6'6 285lb OT.

3 commitments now, all for OLs. Happy to see we are addressing this early and often.

All 3 are big guys with possibly room to grow still. I have a feeling in 2 or 3 years this team is going to be unrecognizable from the Haynes era.

Feature on Logan Swartz, the tackle for Rock Island, Ill.

Good to see some commits. It seemed PH and staff were always way behind the rest of the MAC, Although the preseason picks by the experts don't have us winning too many games - I am looking forward to a much more exciting brand of offense from this staff. Let's hope we also hope we can also start with some more reasonable scheduling. I' love to see us play Syracuse with Coach Lewis

Whitehead reportedly has sub-4.4 40 speed. If that's the case we may not be recruiting him for defense.

Two recent additions:

Hayden Junker, TE/DE from Massillon Jackson. Also offered by Army.

Jaylen DeCoteau, CB/WR from Richland, NJ. Offered by Army, Buffalo, WMU and a host of FCS schools.

Recruiting for a punter at KSU in the past must have been easy! Lots of time to kick the ball!

Two more recruits committed today within a couple hours of each other.

Oly Okombi, DT from SILVER SPRING, MD.
EJ Horton, WR/DB from Dublin, VA

8 recruits thus far have verbally committed to Lewis/staff:
Jack Bailey, OG, Willoughby, Ohio Kirtland
Mike McNicholas, OL, Lombard, Ill. Montini Catholic
Logan Swartz, OL, Rock Island, Ill. Rock Island
Bryson Whitehead, DB, Cornelius NC, William Amos Hough
Jaylen DeCoteau, CB, Richland NJ, St. Augustine Prep
Hayden Junker, TE/H-Back, Massillon OH, Jackson
EJ Horton, WR/ATH, Dublin VA, Pulaski
Oly Okombi, DT/NT, Silver Spring MD, Montgomery Blair

Should be interesting to see if they can get any more recruits before the season begins.

Another two new recruits added today

Zack Early, T/DT from Perry, OH 6'5 270lbs
Glenn Hayes, DB from Lithonia, GA 6' 188lbs

Love the D1 size, now hope for D1 talent.

Another DB/WR commit today

Trey Trawick, Milledgeville, GA

So we're actually allowed to get players to commit a whole season ahead? Who knew? ?

Now we have to keep them.

At least it is only 5 months until the early signing period. That should make it easier to keep the recruits.
