“Today was a good day at the office,” said Hughes. We (as a staff) decided the type of student-athletes we wanted to bring into the program and we were able to sign some quality players. I feel we have one of the best recruiting classes in the country.”
In his inaugural signing class, Hughes and his staff inked 29 total players, including the three mid-year enrollees. The majority of the class hails from the Magnolia state – Mississippi (20), Louisiana (7), Alabama (1), Illinois (1).
“There are some great athletes in the state of Mississippi. This is our home and there are some players that can be developed and have the chance to be great. These young men will be part of the foundation to our winning and championship tradition.”
The Tigers added a quarterback (Juwan Adams), an athlete (Jordan Johnson), two linebackers (Ricky Scott, Cedric Triplett), three running backs (Deon Cole, Terry Sullivan, Justin Blue), three defensive secondary members (Tenoa Alex, Joshua Miller, Ryan Theyard), five offensive linemen (William James, Darius Joseph, Eddie Maxon, Charles Moffett, Vincent Sampson), seven wide receivers/tight ends (Adarius Craft, Kobe Gates, Javian Jackson, Rashun Jackson, De’Ryan Wansley, Keenen Young, Dario Robinson) and seven defensive linemen (Charles Anderson, Kyree Bradford, Eric Brown, Kahlil Johnson, Devon McNeil, Leroy Roddy, III, Deshawn Tillman).
