Umm.. do you mean the first signed after declaring that we went D-1A?

If that's the case, it has to be watson brown's first class of 1995. Chad Black TE, Vestavia Hills and Well I think it would be a tie between Micheal Roberto and Ryan Lundy from Pelham.

Actually, I am referring to the very first football players who signed scholarships out of high school, signing with Jim Hilyer.

I keep thinking of the quarterback. Can't remember his first name but I think his last name was Gann.
