Quote:STANFORD, Calif. – Adding talent across the board, the Stanford football team announced the addition of 22 student-athletes on Wednesday during the NCAA's Early National Signing period. Ranked among the Top 25 classes in the country and third in the Pac-12 Conference, the Cardinal landed one five-star, 12 four-star players, and 13 high school All-Americans.
Stanford's class, which represents 11 states, is comprised of 13 players on offense, seven on defense and two specialists. Also joining the Cardinal is four-star quarterback Tanner McKee, who will return from an LDS mission in Brazil and join the team this fall.
"I'm really excited about this group," said Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football David Shaw.
Two of the top newcomers come from famous NFL lineage. Myles Hinton, a consensus five-star offensive tackle from John's Creek, Georgia, is the son of Chris, an offensive guard who played professionally for 13 seasons and was named to seven Pro Bowls. E.J. Smith, a unanimous four-star running back from Dallas, Texas, is the son of Pro Football Hall of Fame running back Emmitt Smith, who rushed for 18,355 yards and 164 touchdowns during his 15-year NFL career.
