On Wednesday, Feb. 1, the University of Toledo Rocket football team signed 23 new players into the program for National Signing Day. Recruiting site rivals.com ranked the Rocket recruiting class as No. 1 in the Mid-American Conference.
“I feel like this is a complete class,” said head coach Jason Candle in an interview with UTRockets.”We signed at least one player at each position. We addressed some needs on the defensive front. That was a high priority for us. But mostly we are looking at character, young men who fit into our program and are passionate about football. Out staff did a really good job of fostering relationships and bringing the right kind of players into our program.
