West Texas A&M Football Announces 2010 High School Recruiting Class
Buffaloes sign 49 student-athletes to national letters-of-intent


CANYON, Texas - Having compiled 50 wins over the past five seasons, West Texas A&M head football coach Don Carthel and his staff today announced its 2010 high school recruiting class. The 2010 recruiting class consists of 49 student-athletes who will join the program in the fall and continue tohelp to make the Buffs a force on the Division II football scene.

“We were able to sign another strong academic class of student-athletes with a high percentage qualifying for academic scholarships, as well as athletic scholarships,” said Coach Carthel. “We strive to have a well-rounded class with at least two athletes at each position. It is tough to win championships without a quality senior class each year and this group should provide a good senior class five years from now.”

“Offensively, we signed a good group of athletic linemen that should be able to adapt to the style of blocking necessary to continue running the wide-open offense that has been so successful at us,” Carthel added. “We always try and recruit the best all-around athletes. In most cases, that is the running back. We are excited about the speed and veresatility in this year’s class, as several may end up playing at receiver, defensive back, or return specialist. We feel that we were able to sign the top quarterback in all of West Texas and he already knows how to lead and win football games. Overall, there is a tremendous amount of speed with the receivers and running backs that have signed with us. We should be well-represented at the State track & field meet in Austin later this spring.

“Defensively, this group has lots of potential, with several rangy athletes that should develop into tall, athletic defenders at every position,” Carthel continued. “The linebacking group, as a whole, is very athletic. There are lots of playmakers in the group that will fit our 3-4 scheme. The secondary features skilled athletes that have shown great versatility in multiple sports at their high schools. The defensive linemen were extremely successful in high school and they should develop into a great unit for us. We were able to sign a good mix of interior defensive linemen, along with some athletic ends who can rush the passer.

“It has been a great day for WT Football, and the future looks even brighter!”
