All eight are high school seniors.

“I have to tip my cap to (assistant coach) Ritchie Price and (associate head coach) Ryan (Graves) for putting together outstanding back-to-back recruiting classes,” head coach Ritch Price said. “I honestly believe the 2015 class is one of the best I have ever been associated with in my 22 years at the Div.
