The Truman State recruiting class includes a quartet of northeast Missouri athletes that signed their National letter of intent. KRES All-Star Kendal Hammond was the Clarence Cannon Conference Offensive Player of the Year. Bulldog Defensive Coordinator Kellen Nesbitt says he is college ready on both sides of the ball….

With the departure of five offensive linemen, that position became a priority for the Truman staff. Seven O-linemen are future Bulldogs including three from the area. Two-time KRES All-Star Michael Corbett is a hometown kid….

Wyatt Evans was a third-time All-State selection this past season at Mark Twain High School….

Nesbitt also talks about Hannibal three-time all-NCMC lineman Ryan Ross….

Truman Defensive Coordinator Kellen Nesbitt says there are also Institutional Walk-ons, including Macon linebacker Mickey Martie and Hallsville tight end Xavier Stinson. Eight players from the Columbia/Jefferson City area signed to play at Truman, including quarterback Jake Ryan of Father Tolton, running back-wide receiver Cooper Myers of Rock Bridge, defensive back Devin Brown of Hickman, linebacker Alijah Jackman of Battle, another Blair Oaks defensive back in Nick Closser, and Helias players Maddox Alfultis, Alex Cook, and Logan Montoya.
