Stocked with a nearly full allotment of the 85 scholarships available to Football Bowl Subdivision programs for the first time, Coastal Carolina went to work on the opening day of the early fall signing period.
The Chanticleers signed 22 players as part of its 2019 class, featuring 10 offensive players including five offensive linemen, 11 defensive players led by seven defensive backs, and a kicker/punter from Australia.
The Chants are allowed to sign 26 total players to scholarships this recruiting year, so it has four more available for the traditional signing period that begins on Feb. 6, and those will put the Chants near the 85 FBS limit, not including non-scholarship walk-ons.
