MT football adjusting on the fly in recruiting

MURFREESBORO - This is generally the time of year when Middle Tennessee Head Football Coach Rick Stockstill and his staff are flooding high schools throughout the southeast evaluating prospects and beginning the recruiting process for future Blue Raiders.

That is not the case in 2020; however, as COVID-19 has greatly impacted all forms of the recruiting process including the elimination of the spring evaluation period that runs April 15 through May 31.

"We have 168 evaluation days where our coaches generally get the opportunity to go into high schools, talk to coaches and watch practices," Stockstill said.
