FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. -- Northern Arizona football coach Jerome Souers announced a recruiting class of 30 incoming players -- 27 who signed national letters of intent and another three who have financial aid agreements and have joined the team this semester.

The geographic breakdown includes 14 players from California and 10 from Arizona.

"Our priority is always going to be recruiting the state of Arizona, and I think we have proven, once again, that a lot of the very best Arizona has to offer ends up with a Lumberjack jersey on," Souers said.

The class features 18 high school signees and 12 transfers. Nine of the transfers are early enrollees who are already attending class at NAU.

The positional distribution includes eight defensive linemen, five wide receivers, five defensive backs, three offensive linemen, two linebackers, two quarterbacks, two running backs, two tight ends and one athlete.
