Eddie George's son attended the camp weekend.

I had not realized that George is also the head coach of Tennessee State.

To your point, Furman can't afford many injuries on the DL.
The good news is that Furman has the players with the flexibility to play all three positions.
Jackal, you also highlight why Furman is recruiting defensive line prospects so heavily in 2023.
I could be misreading coaches' tweets, by my count Furman has at least 5 commits.
Two HS players have tweeted their commitments. I have a pretty good idea who the other three commits are based on some Twitter actions and who was at Furman for VIP camp this past weekend. By the way, Furman's VIP camp appears to have been a huge success. The player promotion of attending the camp is a social media bonanza for Furman football.

Based on a Tweet by a player attending former college and pro great Eddie Geroge was at VIP camp weekend. His son Eriq George attended the camp.

>>> 2023 RECRUITS
Caldwell Bussey DE 6-3 245
David Alabi DE 6-2 240

I think you'll see a lot of mix and match up front with different personnel groups.

Also, don't overlook the bandits's role. Furman has managed to recruit some length and size out there with Clark (6'3 243) and Maier (6'4 238).

Those guys are the size of a lot of 4-3 defensive ends at this level. They'll be big enough to hold up against the run, and fast enough to pressure the backfield.

here ya go — huge pickup!

[AstroDin]

By my count, Raleigh Hubert had 18 offers.
Quite a few FBS schools and FCS schools like Delaware, Richmond, W&M, and Samford to name a few.

The latest linebacker recruit brings the wood. Also runs very well- good looking player.

The latest linebacker recruit brings the wood. Also runs very well- good looking player.

Yeah he does - plays like an OldSchool LB, instead of a converted DB who ‘doesn’t mind’ contact…too much.

Reminds FUBeAR of watching Green52 & Blitz51 manning the LB role while wearing the Purple a ‘few’ years back.

[AstroDin]

Furman got another commit tonight.
Appears to be another player from ATL and on defense.
I'll go out on a limb and guess another linebacker.
This is a stout-looking defensive class.

Any updates on the latest commitment?

Any updates on the latest commitment?

Nothing publically…

By my count, we're missing two more commitments. That would put Furman at six commits for 2023.
I would think the coaches are very happy with that number in July.

[Afurmanfan]

We are apparently done on defense commitments. Picked up an o-lineman this week that has a lot of offers. From a very good source- wish I knew more.
