FRESNO, Calif. - Fresno State head coach Tim DeRuyter and his coaching staff is set to unveil its fourth recruiting class on Wednesday for National Signing Day.
GoBulldogs.com will keep Red Wavers updated throughout the day, beginning in the early morning when signed national letters of intent (NLIs) can be sent in as early as 7 a.m. local time where the prospect student-athlete is located. Once the NLIs are received and approved through Fresno State's compliance office, Bulldog Athletics will release the signees on its official athletic website as well as its Twitter account, @FresnoStateFB.
GoBulldogs.com will have a signing day central page complete with full bios on the student-athletes to sign with the `Dogs as well as video highlights.
DeRuyter will then address his signing class with the media at a press conference scheduled for 11 a.m. PT. That presser will be streamed live over the Mountain West Network and fans can listen in on it at 940 AM ESPN Radio, the home of the Bulldogs. Additionally, Fresno State's official Spanish flagship radio station, 1600 AM ESPN Deportes, will broadcast the presser beginning at noon PT.

Fresno State has carried a lot of momentum in recruiting and looks to bring the best prospects to the Valley to compete for championships. Coming off back-to-back Mountain West championships in 2012 and 2013, and appearing in the 2014 Mountain West Championship game, the Bulldogs have been well received on the recruiting trails.
"I'm really excited about the hard work that our coaching staff put in and we believe it is going to pay off with an exciting day tomorrow for National Signing Day," DeRuyter said.
Fresno State already has several members of its 2015 recruiting class on campus. Members of this class include quarterback Chason Virgil and defensive back Alan Wright, who were January enrollees at Fresno State and currently on campus taking classes and working out with the team. Additionally center Jacob Vazquez, who walked on the team last year, will be put on scholarship this season and count towards this year's class for scholarships allotted.
Virgil was a four-year starting quarterback out of West Mesquite, Texas and named the District 12-5A co-Most Valuable Player his senior year in 2014. Wright, originally from San Antonio, Texas, played the last two seasons at Blinn College.
Vazquez was a sophomore last season for the Bulldogs and was the back-up center. He played one season at Butte College before joining Fresno State last year.
