Annapolis, Md.–Navy head football coach Ken Niumatalolo released the names of the 2017 football recruiting class on Thursday evening as 54 prospects representing 19 states went through induction ceremonies and began plebe summer.
“We are really excited about the group of young men that went through induction ceremonies today,” said Niumatalolo. “If they work hard and do the things they are supposed to do in Bancroft Hall, in the classroom, in the weight room and on the practice field they will have a chance to contribute to our success.”
Tennessee and Texas produced the most prospects with six, while five hail from the state of Georgia. Other states represented include: Ohio (4), Maryland (4), California (3), Virginia (3), Alabama (3), Arkansas (2), Louisiana (2), Florida (2), Hawai’i (2), Washington (2), New Jersey (2), Michigan (2), Oregon (2), Pennsylvania (2), Illinois (1) and Missouri (1).
