HOUSTON- The Texas Southern Tigers football program has announced the signing of seven mid-year signees that will join the team for the 2015 campaign.
"We feel really positive about the student-athletes we were able to recruit and sign," said TSU head football coach Darrell Asberry. "We went after our current needs and obviously with losing 21 seniors there were some areas on our football team that we needed to address."
Texas Southern signed a total of seven student-athletes during the mid-year signing period. Joining the Tigers in the Fall of 2015 will be Jamal Lucas, Brandon Diaz, Averion Hurts, Austin Watts, Marc Edwards, Tino Thomas, and Roshard Burney.
"Right now we don't have the luxury to miss on any of the players we signed so it was a must that we recruited student-athletes that we feel are ready to play and can contribute immediately," said Asberry.
