Niners 2020 Class Grows on National Signing Day

Charlotte, N.C. - Following an historic, record-breaking season, Charlotte head football coach Will Healy has announced the signing of yet another three-star standout to the 49ers 2020 recruiting class, which stands to be the best recruiting class in school history.

The 49ers have signed 6-0; 195 lb. running back Elijah Turner out of Buford, Ga. Turner, who had over 15 FBS offers, averaged 7.7 yards per carry as Buford High claimed the 2019 Georgia High School Association AAAAA state championship. He earned three-star ratings from ESPN.com, 247Sports and Rivals.

The 49ers, who earned a trip to their first-ever bowl, announced 19 signees in December.
