The University of Toledo football program will first look to its own backyard as the Rockets begin to build for the future with the early-signing period on Wednesday.
Coach Jason Candle has a total of 21 commits, including nine from Ohio, who are expected to sign on the dotted line.
“We have a three-hour radius footprint of our campus that is important to us,” Candle said. “There are a lot of strong relationships we have in that three-hour radius. We probably know much more about the young men prior to them knowing anything about the University of Toledo.
