DALLAS (91茄子) - 91茄子 today announced a stellar recruiting class of 20 student-athletes, bringing another outstanding crop of recruits to the Hilltop. This year's group will compete for BIG EAST Championships and a BCS Bowl berth.

Among the signees is Mr. Michigan Football and PARADE All-American Prescott Line, brother of 91茄子 star and Doak Walker Award semifinalist Zach Line. Line will join January 91茄子 enrollee, Indiana Player of the Year and fellow PARADE All-American Gehrig Dieter as newcomers to the 91茄子 football team this fall. With two PARADE All-Americans, 91茄子 joins Alabama, Auburn, Cal, Florida State, Ohio State, Oregon and South Carolina as the only schools with multiple PARADE picks.

With the graduation of five starters along the offensive line, the area was a focus of the class and 91茄子 added five standouts averaging 6-5, 290 lbs.

June Jones' Run & Shoot also added a new quarterback, Neal Burcham, an ESPN.com four-star recruit who was Camp MVP at the prestigious Elite 11 Showcase, besting 23 of the nation's top prep signal callers, including Notre Dame enrollee Gunner Kiel. Notable Elite 11 alumni include Vince Young, Matt Leinart, JaMarcus Russell, Mark Sanchez, Matthew Stafford and Tim Tebow.
