Amid preparation for its first bowl game in program history, Texas State Head Coach G.J. Kinne announced the signing of 21 players Wednesday on Early Signing Day.
“I felt like we got some really quality players,” Kinne said. “The kids in this class are great kids, that championship culture type of kid. These kids are going to come in and work and compete for a job. These 21 kids we signed are going to push us over the top and give us an opportunity to go win a championship next year.”
The class consists of 10 high school recruits, four junior college recruits and seven transfer portal players.
According to 247sports, the Bobcats currently have the No. 100-ranked class in the nation and seventh best in the Sun Belt Conference. The class is highlighted by three-star offensive lineman Issiah Walker Jr. and three-star quarterback Brad Jackson.
