Commitments:

Zeek Biggers | 2021 DT

Head coach Geoff Collins continues to add to the need of becoming bigger and stronger. The defensive line has also been an area of focus in the Jackets recruiting. Biggers has the frame, build and strength to become a major contribution on the interior on the defensive line - with some added development. He also has the skillset to play on the offensive line.

James BlackStrain | 2021 Four-star WR

"The family part. Coach (Geoff) Collins is by far one of the best family coaches around and I can feel the love already like I'm enrolled as of now," BlackStrain said regarding his decision. "They always stay up to date with me and make sure my family is okay. I wanted to commit after a Zoom call with the offensive staff because I knew it would be the best fit for me and I know we can change the program around."

David Shanahan | 2021 Punter
