Bulldogs see new football early-signing period, other recruiting changes as opportunity

A new early national letter-of-intent signing period for high school football recruits awaits approval by the Collegiate Commissioners Association, which is expected in June. Fresno State is prepared to pounce.

It is a change that first-year coach Jeff Tedford said could benefit the Bulldogs.

In addition to the early signing period, starting next year recruits can make official visits in April through June of their junior year in high school, rather than the start of their senior year.

“They change the rules, you have to abide by the rule and try to use them to your advantage,” Tedford said.
