The Pioneers addressed several needs, but especially in the secondary as 25 of the commitments were defensive backs. The list of commitments also includes 15 defensive linemen, 12 receivers, nine linebackers, nine running backs, six quarterbacks, 3 athletes and one offensive lineman. “This is always a very exciting day for our team and our coaching staff,†said DeBusk. “Our staff has worked tirelessly this year and I’m always proud of the commitment and dedication they put forward in our recruiting efforts.†Tusculum’s recruiting scope covered 10 U.S. States with Georgia having the largest representation with 29 commitments. Seventeen (17) student-athletes from Tennessee are on the list, while 16 are from South Carolina. Five commitments each come from Florida and Kentucky, while California, North Carolina and Texas had two apiece. Washington and Mississippi rounded out the list with one commitment each. “I’m really pleased with the quality of this recruiting class,†DeBusk added. “We targeted specific needs and I’m confident we were able to fill them. We got a lot of the guys we wanted and I’m excited with the potential this class has.†The Pioneers will open spring practice on Feb. 15 in preparation for this fall’s season-opener against the University of Charleston (W.Va.) at Pioneer Field on Aug. 28. - TC - 2010 Tusculum College Football Commitments Player Pos.

GMan 3,569 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Dayum. Is this Tusculum's 1st year? No. Tusculum has had a football team, and a very good one at that, for many years. Donald Amaker from Bluefield played at Tusculum a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
