(Stats Perform) – Eastern Washington announced one of the stronger recruiting classes on the FCS level on Wednesday.
More than half of the 23 signees, one transfer and three preferred walk-ons signed during the December period and helped the Big Sky program rank high in the FCS, according to 24/7 Sports.
Key signees included tight end Nate Smith from Hillsboro, Ore., dual-threat quarterback Shane Jennings from Dietrich, Idaho, and defensive end/outside linebacker Sandrey Mitberg from Beaverton, Ore.
Eastern Washington went 7-5 in coach Aaron Best’s third season last year, one season after finishing as the FCS runner-up.
