UNLV Football Recruiting: Farrell Hester staying close to home

Tony Sanchez didn’t have to look far to find a defensive gem to add to his 2017 recruiting class.

Sanchez returned to his old stomping grounds, and added 6’0” 235 lbs, inside linebacker Farrell Hester from Bishop Gorman High School. If you’re a Las Vegan you know this already, if you’re not, perhaps you don’t. Sanchez jumped from Bishop Gorman to UNLV, after winning six consecutive state titles.

For Rebel football fans, this is what has always been envisioned. Sanchez being able to tap into that wealth of high school talent that was absolutely, positively not recruited by Bishop Gorman.
