Bulldogs loading up on commitments in 2019 recruiting class ahead of dead period

Fresno State ,made a big recruiting push before the start of an August dead period, receiving six oral commitments on Monday and Tuesday.

The recruits are linebacker Kyvin Carroll from Benton, Ark., wideout Jamal Glaspie from Culver City, cornerback Myles Martin from Vista Murrieta High, defensive end Colby Warkentin from Centennial High in Bakersfield, cornerback Randy Jordan from Tulare Union and safety Deven Jarvis from Bishop Amat in LaPuente, all key pieces as coach Jeff Tedford and his staff continue to rebuild position groups that will be hit hard by graduation or have a lack depth.

Carroll (5-foot-11, 227 pounds), Glaspie (6-0, 182), Martin (5-10, 160), Warkentin (6-5, 233) and Jarvis (6-2, 190) all are regarded as three-star prospects by 24/7Sports.

“I like the kid from Culver City a lot,” said Greg Biggins, a national recruiting analyst for 247Sports. “Jamal, he’s a very athletic kid. They (Culver City) have a fun offense over there where they throw the ball all over the place and you can put up a lot of yards. They’ve had three or four receivers go D-I the past couple of years. It’s a really good program for that, and he’s good. He’s an athletic kid, real smooth, body control. He’s probably better than a lot of guys that are rated above him, to be honest with you.

“The Martin kid, he’s pretty good, too. They (Vista Murrieta) were a little down last year, but it’s a really good program. They’re well coached, have a good strength-and-conditioning program. That’s where Sua Cravens (USC, Denver Broncos) went. They have kids every year, and they come out of there ready to go.”

Fresno State by NCAA rule cannot comment on prospective student-athletes until a national letter of intent has been signed and validated.

The Bulldogs’ wideout and cornerback positions are high points of emphasis for recruiting in the Class of 2018 and ‘19.

The Bulldogs have eight seniors in their wideouts room including KeeSean Johnson, Jamire Jordan, Michiah Quick and Delvon Hardaway, and three at the cornerback position in Tank Kelly, Sherman Coleman Jr. and Matt Boateng.
