ISU fills skill positions in recruiting class

NORMAL — James Robinson, Illinois State's All-American tailback, has one season remaining in a Redbird uniform, while all-conference receiver Spencer Schnell has exhausted his eligibility.

“We were looking for a lot of speed,” Redbirds coach Brock Spack said while announcing nine new recruits added to a group secured during the first signing period in December. “We’re very happy where we’re at. We’ve got a lot of athletes who can catch the ball, run with the ball and can play defense as well in the secondary.”

Offensive linemen signed were Fresno City College’s Kirby Peine and Paul Liseno of Keansburg, N.
