The Colonels may have lost to Southern Illinois last November, but boast a top-25 recruiting class in the FCS according to the 247Sports Composite. However, it is a small class - Nicholls only signed one player in December, and will have to build higher on Wednesday for National Signing Day in order to continue competing with the elite of the Southland Conference and all of the FCS.

Here's a look at the newest Nicholls Colonels:
