TE Trevor Hobbs

Huntington Beach, California

Notable offers: several FCS & Division II offers
ASOR story: Commitment

Trevor Hobbs was a late addition to the December class and he wasn’t officially announced by the school. We have been able to confirm that he is indeed on campus and enrolled in classes at Liberty for the spring semester. The 6’4″, 245 pound prospect was ranked as the top tight end in JUCO football by Rivals’ JC Gridiron. Playing for Golden West College the past two seasons, Hobbs hauled in 25 receptions for 456 yards, and 4 touchdowns in 10 games during the 2019 season.

NLI’S RECEIVED

DB Quinton Reese    

6’0″ 185
Alpharetta, Georgia
Blessed Trinity Catholic
Notable offers: Boston College, Coastal Carolina, Georgia State, Troy, Western Kentucky
ASOR story: Commitment

The only signee expected today, Reese wasted little time making things official. He finished his 2019 senior season by being named the 4A Defensive Player of the Year for North Fulton as well as being selected to the AJC All-State and All-Metro teams.

PREFERRED WALK-ON’S

ASOR Story: Commitment, Club feature

Humes committed to Liberty in June and he seemed to be a solid commit all along until he didn’t sign in December. He’s now added to the class as a preferred walk-on at a position that needs depth.
