San Diego, Calif. -- The University of San Diego football program, under the direction of head coach Dale Lindsey, is thrilled to welcome 32 new recruits to the 2018 roster. When camp begins in August, fans will be able to see the new players, who come from seven different states. Nineteen of the recruits hail from California, including two local kids from San Diego. Outside of California, there are recruits from Arizona (4), Colorado (1), Illinois (1), Nevada (2), Oregon (1) and Washington (4).

The 2018 class will include five offensive linemen, five tight ends, five wide receivers, four linebackers, four safeties, three defensive tackles, two cornerbacks, two nickelbacks, one quarterback and one running back.

The Toreros will look to build on last year's success when the season begins on Saturday, Sept. 1 against Western New Mexico University. In 2017, USD posted a 10-3 record (8-0 in conference) on their way to a second consecutive undefeated PFL Conference Championship and second round appearance in the NCAA FCS Playoffs. Also in 2017, former USD cornerback, Jamal Agnew (now of the Detroit Lions), recorded an excellent rookie year in the NFL. Agnew totaled 670 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns, en route to being named first team all pro. This past March the Toreros had four players work out for pro scouts in hopes that they will be selected in the 2018 NFL Draft.
