MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – John Bonamego’s first recruiting class as Central Michigan’s football coach is small in size, but big on talent, particularly at the skill positions.

Bonamego on Wednesday unveiled a class comprising 14 signees that includes Tony Poljan, a quarterback out of Lansing Catholic and the son of Rick Poljan, a standout offensive lineman who was a teammate of Bonamego’s at CMU from 1983-86.

Bonamego drew on his relationship with Rick Poljan in courting the son, who stands 6-foot-7 and weighs 240 pounds and amassed more than 9,000 yards in passing and rushing and scored 116 touchdowns during a brilliant career at Lansing Catholic.
