Jacks have had a nice run the past few days.
Cole Frahm- a transfer kicker from Nebraska verballed on Sunday.
Tyrece Frater a DT out of Florida on Monday. He looks like a bull and this is a nice late period signing.
Devin Blakley as you mentioned was committed to Miami and something went wrong. Held an offer from most of the MAC and Iowa State last spring. He's a 3 star athlete but will likely play RB for us.
Kevin Brenner- DE from Wisconsin verballed yesterday. He's a PWO and a high motor guy that could develop into a contributor.

Last night the coaches offered Noure Nouli (OL from Nebraska) and Darian Oxendin (WR from Florida). They have a couple guys taking OVs this weekend. I'm guessing these two plus another edge rusher or two.

One thing that spans across the MVFC is the level of athlete that is being recruited. Pretty impressive to see the caliber of player that now considers the MVFC a viable option. I think UNI, NDSU, and Indiana State along with SDSU have been killing it in recruiting this year. I think NDSU and SDSU have been a little ahead the others in recent seasons with NDSU having a longer stretch of recruiting success. Good luck on the last two weeks!

Don’t know what other offers might be commitable still, but apparently Missouri is not.

Would guess those spots have been filled already.
