LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) – New UNLV football head coach Dan Mullen's first recruiting class, which numbers more than 40, includes four new high school players, two of whom signed during Wednesday's opening day of the traditional national signing period.

The overall class of newcomers unveiled Wednesday, which includes both high school and transfer portal additions, is made up of players hailing from 14 U.S. states and three different countries. Eight list their hometowns as being in Florida, seven from Texas, five each from Louisiana and Georgia, four from California, three from Nevada and two from Illinois. One newcomer each is from Hawai'i, Ohio, Tennessee, Mississippi, South Carolina, North Carolina and Connecticut, along with Australia and England.
