UWF Announces 2018 Football Signing Class
February 8, 2018
University of West Florida football coach Pete Shinnick announced a class of 15 high school standouts on Wednesday, marking the fourth full class of recruits after he was hired in 2014.
Shinnick’s first group since advancing to the national championship game includes eight offensive players, six on defense and one kicker. The mid-year transfer group includes eight players who enrolled at UWF in January and four that sat out the fall semester as redshirts.
“When we put the numbers together four years ago we figured we’d sign between eight and 12 (in this class),” said Shinnick, who was named the AFCA and D2Football.com Division II National Coach of the Year. “Our coaches did a fantastic job identifying some really good guys and when they became available, and we had the opportunity to get them, we took advantage of it.”
“I feel great about getting the 15 (high school signees) that we did get. Two areas where we don’t have a lot of young guys on our current roster are the offensive line and defensive back.”
The incoming group of prep signees and college transfers combine to include six offensive linemen and two tight ends. UWF also picked up eight defensive backs.
The class features 19 players from Florida, three from Alabama and one each from Georgia, New York, North Carolina and Texas.
The 26 total players will add to a roster that has more than 90 returnees, including 17 starters from last year’s team that went 11-4 overall, 5-3 in Gulf South Conference play and gained national attention with its run to the Division II National Championship Game in it’s second year of competition.
UWF’s spring practice will begin on March 24 and end with the Blue-White Spring Game on Saturday, April 21.
