Southern Jaguars enjoying recruiting head start

SU hopes to land 19 of 24 offers

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana  -- Southern has a good head start on its football recruiting class. And coach Dawson Odums sounds like he’s expecting good news to roll in when scholarship papers start arriving at Southern Wednesday morning.

The Jaguars have offered scholarships to 24 players, and Odums said he’s hopeful of landing about 19. Eight of those players are transfers already enrolled at Southern, and the high school players who join them beginning with Wednesday’s national signing day will determine just how good this class is.

“We think this is going to be a good class,” Odums said Tuesday. “If we get 19 or 20 of the 24, it will be a great class.”

Odums said he thinks the Jaguars have 12 players “locked up,” but, “You can always lose some you think you’ve got.”
