That brings WSU’s freshmen class to 30 after 18 players signed in December’s early period, though many of the newest 12, first-year head coach Eric Kjar said, will embark on missionary service first.

And, as of now, Weber State has about 40 new players joining the team for spring camp (encompassing incoming transfers, new scholarship players and walk-ons) to join about 46 returning players.

The newest 12 freshmen include 10 from Utah, including Weber High’s Dyson Parker, along with one from Hawaii and one from Texas.
