Jacksonville, Florida-Edward Waters head football coach
Toriano Morgan has announced the addition of 24 student-athletes who have signed National Letters of Intent to play for EWU in the upcoming 2023 campaign.
Of the 24 players that have signed, 19 will enter directly from high school, while five will transfer from previous colleges. Two players are Division I transfers from the SWAC with WR Shamar Zargoza transferring from Southern University and DE Shanoyd White coming just up I-95 from Bethune-Cookman. With a solid offensive nucleus returning from last season and much of the 2022 signing class focused on the offensive side of the ball, Coach Morgan and his coaching staff shifted much of the focus in this recruiting cycle on the defensive side of the ball as 14 of the 24 signees were on defense. Coach Morgan also stuck very closely to his South Florida roots with 14 signees hailing from that talent rich portion of the state. There is also a legacy member of the 2023 class as Desmon Self, an offensive lineman from Delray Beach Atlantic HS and son of former EWC offensive lineman Fred Self '07, will follow in his father's footsteps and don the Purple & Orange.
Coach Morgan and "The Voice of the Tigers" Joshua C. Jackson were able to sit down to discuss the signees in this year's class.
