BUFFALO, NY – University at Buffalo head football coach Turner Gill has announced his initial signees for the 2007 recruiting class on the first day of the National Signing period.

Headlining a class of 20 players are 10 from the football-rich states of Florida, Texas and Ohio as well as seven players from the Empire State – including three All-Western New York selections.

“We are proud to announce an outstanding group of 20 student-athletes whom we believe will lead UB to a great football future,” said Gill. “Our staff was diligent in selecting a group of young men who are both talented and athletic. We also fulfilled our goal of assembling a recruiting class with student-athletes who have a true passion for the game of football.”
