Football National Signing Day

MOSCOW, Idaho – Idaho football has been hard at work looking for the next great Vandal, with a number of future student-athletes signing their letters of intent today.
 
"We got three offensive linemen, a quarterback, two safeties, a corner, a defensive end, a fullback/tight end, a linebacker and a really fast athlete.  Our assistant coaches and our players, when we brought these guys on campus did a great job.  It's a really good class," said head coach Paul Petrino.  "We'll keep adding to it, probably another six-to-eight guys, but it's a really good start.  A good class, a lot of places where we had needs, and people that we wanted to get.  Now let's continue to work hard and finish out this class."
