Liberty football coach Turner Gill added 15 players to his 2017 roster as part of National Signing Day on Wednesday.

Gill’s 2017 signing class, his sixth recruiting class at Liberty, includes 13 high school standouts and two transfers who joined the Flames’ roster at the start of the spring semester.

Gill’s 2017 recruiting class includes two defensive linemen, two offensive linemen, two tight ends, two cornerbacks, two linebackers, two wide receivers, a quarterback, a running back, and a safety.

Liberty’s football staff continues to bring in the best high school talent from all around the country, signing players from seven different states.

The Flames signed multiple players from the high school hotbeds of Florida (4), Georgia (3), Virginia (3) and Texas (2), while getting single signees from Indiana, Tennessee and Washington, D.C.
