The WKU football program announced 15 new Hilltoppers signed to National Letters of Intent on Wednesday, which was the start of the early signing period for the Class of 2020.
The new crop of signees were the first official additions to head coach Tyson Helton’s second recruiting class on the Hill, and Helton said WKU “hit home on all the areas we needed to hit.”
“Really good day for us,” Helton said. “Really excited about this year’s signing class. I really felt like we met our needs in the early signing period.”
Helton took the reins from former WKU head coach Mike Sanford late in the 2018 recruiting cycle, and after having to quickly scramble for the 17 signatures he received in his first signing class last December, Helton said he was able to be more careful with this signing class.
