I am sort of surprised that I have not seen any posts on this, yet.

This Abraham Alce kid was pretty heavily recruited. Great grab by the coaches. He seems like quite a character.

2018 Fla. LB Alce ‘not sure’ on taking official visit to MSU
Miami recruiting: RB target Abraham Alce still high on Hurricanes, plans to visit ‘really soon’

 

It appears, from his twitter that he had previously verballed to Wisconsin.

Seems like the Zips have lots of potential at the RB position. 

 

Why does the tweet say "four" new players when the graphic very clearly has five?

I think because Bryce is a Juco transfer & already in school & with team working out, , just officially signed

I thought the same thing when I first saw the tweet. @94zipgrad hit the nail on the head though.

I'm glad we finally have a couple big backs now. Hopefully we can keep them healthy over the next several years.

Looks like Springfield LB Zach DiLauro will be a walk-on.

What an informative article, thanks. 

 

• Alce chose Akron over eight other Division I teams, including the likes of Miami, Wisconsin, USF and Pittsburgh.

 

• While several schools wanted Alce as a linebacker, Akron pursued him to play running back.

 

• Abraham Alce and Shedro Louis have been known as Thunder and Lightning. Akron was the only DI school to offer Louis.

 

• Alce pulled a fast one on the crowd, revealing a Miami hat....quickly tossed the Canes hat into the crowd and said "I’m taking my talents to the University of Akron" 

 

• Zips running backs coach Eric Hickson visited Alce last March....A native of Fort Lauderdale, Hickson recruits South Florida with vigor every year.

 

• Louis (Wide receiver/defensive back) has impacted on offense, defense and special teams....led a deep, talented receiving corps with 614 yards and 11 touchdowns. Louis tended to bring his best in big games

Apparently we can add Shedro Louis as another non-qualifier who will count toward the 2019 class.
