The first early signing period for college football starts Wednesday, a three-day window to lock in some pieces in the Class of 2018, and Fresno State will have a quarterback who will lead the Bulldogs to a bowl game in his first season, a running back who will start a game as a freshman and Power 5-level talent at wideout and running back.
That is not a crystal ball prognostication, but the fortunate reality for coach Jeff Tedford, who in his first season has led Fresno State to the Hawaii Bowl while also upgrading talent, filling holes and creating better balance between classes in the program.
