The seven transfers join early signees DJ Allen (Gladewater, Texas/Gladewater HS/TCU), Mekhi Anderson (Tampa, Fla./Armwood HS), Briley Brown (Helotes, Texas/O’Connor HS), Caile Hogan (Eltham North, Australia/Marcellin College), Davion Hurth (Mesquite, Texas/Horn HS), CJ James (Springfield, Mass./Central HS/New Mexico), Kenyan Kelly (Denison, Texas/Denison HS), Nate Markiewicz (McKinney, Texas/North HS), Jonah Miller (Tucson, Ariz./Salpointe Catholic HS/Santa Rosa [Calif.] JC), Elijah Newell (Maumelle, Ark./Maumelle HS), Chidera Otutu (Pflugerville, Texas/Weiss HS), Zechariah Robinson (Brookshire, Texas/Royal HS), JJ Sparkman (Longview, Texas/Pine Tree HS/Texas Tech), Joseph Ugwu Jr. (Katy, Texas/Paetow HS) and Daemian Wimberly (Austin, Texas/Vandegrift HS/SMU).
The group features 14 players from the state of Texas, one apiece from Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts and Mississippi, as well as one from Australia. Of the players from the Lone Star State, four hail from the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex/North Texas, three each are from the Greater Houston Area and East Texas, two call Central Texas home and one apiece come from San Antonio and Southeast Texas.
Eleven of the players are slated to play on the offensive side of the ball, 10 are pegged for the defense and one is a specialist.
Ten of the players are joining the Roadrunners from the high school ranks — including seven from Texas — while the other dozen are transfers who were part of FBS programs.
