With all the NLIs signed and delivered to the Villanova Athletic Office, Villanova Wildcats football fans can officially welcome 13 new scholarship players to the roster. We know of at least two preferred walk-ons, and there may be more bodies that join the program this fall.
Below we break down the commitments and hand out positional grades. The grades are based on both roster need and potential impact of the players, both short and long term.
With last season’s #1 ranked defense, it’s no surprise to see high marks across the board for that unit, even with the losses of Billy Crocker and Tony Trisciani to new jobs.
