CCU's 2013 Football Recruiting Class

Coastal Carolina announced the addition of 30 recruits Wednesday as part of its 2013 National Signing Day class. 

The Chanticleers didn't differentiate between full-scholarship, partial-scholarship and preferred walk-on players in their list but were believed to be working with about 20 scholarships this recruiting season.

It's the second recruiting class under head coach Joe Moglia and the first time he and his staff had a full year to assemble one.

The Chants went heavy on both sides of the line and in the secondary, filling their key needs. Here's a quick breakdown of who has joined the program.
