Locksley was the NJCAA offensive player of the year and a JC all-American. He is a dynamic, dual threat QB that is a game changer for UTEP's offense. Excited for the coming football season now. He is a mid-year transfer so he can participate in spring football which always helps.

Quote:With 21 recruits signed last month and just four football scholarships available for the 2018 recruiting class, FIU coach Butch Davis said his staff is spending a majority of its time looking ahead to 2019.

The next National Signing Day is Feb. 7, but FIU doesn’t figure to be particularly active on that day.

“[FIU assistant coaches are working] 40 percent on 2018 and 60 percent on 2019,” Davis said. “They are out on the road looking at 2019. [For 2018], we want to see if there is anybody out there we can sign who will be an impactful player.

“We know the type of player we want.”

Indeed, the players already signed fit what Davis seeks — versatile athletes who can play multiple positions and are, in many cases, bigger and faster than the players he already has on campus.

As of now, FIU’s Class of 2018 is ranked 63rd nationally and No. 1 in Conference USA, according to 247 Sports.

FIU’s biggest recruiting wins came at defensive tackle, where Davis signed a pair of four-star junior-college transfers. Davis said FIU beat out some big-time programs to get Tayland Humphrey, a 6-6, 350-pounder from Hutchinson Community College (Kansas), and Teair Tart-Spencer, a 6-4, 295-pounder from East Mississippi CC.

I was letting goliath know so he could remove him from the list.

Why did you flip between 24/7 and ESPN? Is it because 24/7 has FAU recruits rated lower than ESPN?

According to 24/7, which I tend to like better, FAU has a 5 signed (four 3*, one 2*) and 7 commits (four 3*, one 2*, two not rated).

That's not to say FAU isn't doing a good job recruiting, because I think you guys are.
