As a whole, it’s not a highly recruited group, with currently only one prospect with an FBS offer ( Joe Ginnetti Joe Ginnetti 6'0" | 210 lbs | LB Moeller | 2023 OH an Air Force commit). However, this group most certainly has a bright future this season and beyond & should gain recruiting traction as the season moves on. With that being said, here’s who you need to know!
