They said Butch Davis wasn’t going to succeed at FIU. They said his ability to recruit after years away from the game was a red flag. Well, after tying the record for most wins in school history with an 8-5 debut season, Butch has parlayed that on the field success to tremendous gains on the recruiting trail.
After the first ever Early Signing Period, FIU has the best recruiting class in Conference USA and rank 64th nationally. The headliners come from the JUCO ranks as the Panthers currently have the lone four-star commits in Conference USA as they are both slated to play on the defensive line.
