National Signing Day was fruitful for Gardner-Webb University’s football program, as 20 student-athletes signed to play for the Runnin’ Bulldogs. Head coach Steve Patton and his staff targeted the Southeast heavily, with 19 of the 20 signees hailing from North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida. The Runnin’ Bulldogs inked 12 players who played high school football within a two-hour drive of campus. One signee, cornerback Terrance Thomas (5-11, 170) is already enrolled at Gardner-Webb and started classes in January. The speedy Thomas, from Pageland, S.C., led the state of South Carolina with 11 interceptions as a senior during the 2008 season – helping Central High to the Class 2A state finals. The class was balanced, with 10 signees slated for offense and 10 for defense – although several in the class could wind up on either side of the football. (more)
