BUFFALO, NY – University at Buffalo head football coach Jeff Quinn announced today members of the 2010 Bulls recruiting class on the first day of the National Signing Period.

Quinn, who begins his first season as head coach at Buffalo after serving as Offensive Coordinator at Cincinnati during their run to back-to-back Big East titles (2008-09), announced the signing of 19 players and one preferred walk-on.

“We are elated to welcome this class to Buffalo and feel as though they will make tremendous contributions towards our goal of winning Mid-American Conference championships,” said Quinn. “As a group this is a highly-competitive and physical group of athletes, and equally important, have been part of winning cultures throughout their football experiences. Five of our signees won multiple state championships during their high school careers and that is so essential to continuing to cultivate a championship expectation here at UB.”
