Dec. 19, 2016 LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - UNLV head coach Tony Sanchez on Monday announced the addition of two more midyear junior college players during the national early signing period.
Signing National Letters of Intent with UNLV were defensive back Demitrious Gibbs (Southwestern College in San Diego) and defensive end Roger Mann (Palomar College in San Marcos, California).
The pair joined center Sid Acosta (Riverside (CA) City College) and linebacker Jacob Rominger (Highland Community College in Kansas), who signed with the Rebels last week. All four will enroll at UNLV in January and compete in spring practice on campus with the Rebels starting March 1.
"Demitrious is a long, athletic guy who will add much-needed depth to a young group back there," Sanchez said. "He can play multiple positions in the secondary. Roger is a big, strong guy with good hands who we think can develop into a dynamic pass-rusher on this level."
The bulk of Sanchez's third recruiting class will be announced on national signing day Feb. 1.
