Liberty Football goes 22 deep in 2020 signing class

Liberty Football coach Hugh Freeze announced the addition of 22 players to his 2020 roster as part of National Signing Day.

Freeze’s second signing class at Liberty is the highest ranked recruiting class in program history. The 2020 is ranked No. 98 in the country by 247Sports.com, which included 11 three-star ranked recruits (out of 19 scholarship offers).
