Bolivar, Mo. - Southwest Baptist University head football coach
Craig Schuler was very pleased to announce the Bearcats' 2015 recruiting class, which featured three key players at a position SBU has to fill before the road opener at Grand Valley (Mich.) State next September.
"We knew quarterback was the key going in," said Schuler, referring to the Bearcats' loss of senior All-GLVC signal-caller
Willie Tindal. "We had to get some guys who can compete to replace him, and we did a great job of that. Mason Farquhar (Tulsa, OK, Union HS), Rob Thompson (St. Louis, MO, Webster Groves HS) and T.J. Edwards (Dallas, TX, Lakeview Centennial HS) will all be able to compete for that job in the fall."
"The rest of our class is like all of our classes will be: some very fast guys, such as Jaylen Jones out of Louisiana, and lots of big, smart, kids with room to grow," the Bearcats' head man said. "We are extremely excited with both the depth and the talent of this class."
