Fresno State football recruits weigh options after DeRuyter firing

As Fresno State regroups following the dismissal of coach Tim DeRuyter, the Bulldogs’ recruits are also trying to make sense of their next step.

Six players who previously gave oral commitments to Fresno State said they’re sticking with their decisions as National Signing Day approaches Feb. 1. But five are waiting to learn who will be the Bulldogs’ 18th head football coach before finalizing their decisions and another already de-committed earlier this month.

Cody Watson, a linebacker from Chaminade College Prep in Hollywood, Florida, has been following the situation via social media and the internet and said he’s committed to Fresno State no matter who the next coach is.
