Texas Southern head football coach Cris Dishman has secured the signatures of six student-athletes after the first day of the early football signing period of the 2025-26 campaign.
The Tigers continued their tradition of seeking out and securing the signatures of several talented high schoolers early on with four from the senior class of 2026. Dishman and staff also went for immediate help with two junior college student-athletes who'll be available for spring drills next semester.
With the new recruiting calendar in effect, the Tigers will remain active over the next few months as the early signing period ends Dec. 5. The transfer portal window is active from Jan. 2-16 followed by the annual National Signing Day on Feb. 4.
