The University of Idaho announced the signing of a trio of three-star athletes amid a talented 2016 football recruiting class.
The Vandal football program received a total of 18 national letters of intent during the official NCAA signing period Wednesday.
“I wanted to go out and sign guys that were physical, hard-nosed players and I think we did just that,” Idaho head coach Paul Petrino said.
In an effort to boost the team’s defensive line presence, Petrino and the Idaho coaching staff inked 11 defensive players, including six defensive linemen.
Charles Akanno emerged as one of the key pickups for the Idaho defensive line.
