LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) – UNLV's midyear recruiting class has grown to 16 with the addition of junior college defensive end Noah McGregor (6-4, 245, SO-TR), head coach Tony Sanchez announced Monday.
 
McGregor, a Florida native who graduated from Sierra Canyon school in Los Angeles, played the 2018 season for College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita, California. He will have three seasons of eligibility remaining and join the Rebels next week when UNLV's spring semester gets underway.
 
McGregor played defensive end, offensive line and tight end in high school for the Trailblazers and was a defensive end during his one season for the Cougars last fall.
 
"Noah is a long, athletic guy who we think can turn into a heck of a pass-rusher for us," Sanchez said. "Having him for three years is a big deal and we are fired up to get him."
             
UNLV's midyear portion of the recruiting class is now made up of nine high school players and seven junior-college transfers. The breakdown also sees nine defensive players and seven on offense: 4 DL, 3 LB, 3 OL, 2 DB, 2 WR, 1 RB and 1 QB.
 
UNLV, which is allowed to sign up to 25 new players, will announce the remainder of its class during the traditional signing period, which begins February 6.
