• Guillermo Coiras, a 5-11 freshman from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. Coiras is still deciding on his major.
• Uriah Miller, a 5-11 sophomore from Sicklerville, N.J., and Timber Creek Regional High School. A transfer from NCAA Division III Rochester, Miller is a chemistry / pre-medical major. He was 5-2 in singles and 2-2 in doubles for Rochester.

WATCH: Sam Davis (Allen University), four-time Super Bowl champion with Steelers, dead after being reported missing by his family
Mr. Davis signed with Steelers as an undrafted rookie in 1967, emerging as the starting left guard by his third season. He belonged to one of the most athletic offensive lines in NFL history. Earlier this year, his family awarded scholarships to four Allegheny County high school seniors whose parents have disabilities.

Jones urges Congress to extend funding for HBCUs
