The Bears signed six offensive linemen, four defensive backs, three running backs, three wide receivers, one quarterback, one linebacker and one place-kicker/punter. Mercer signed 10 high school players from Georgia, two each from Alabama, Florida and Tennessee, along with three transfers.

Here’s a look at freshman David Durden:

Position: Wide receiver.

Lamb says: “David is a very physical wide receiver with a grinder mentality. We love his winning attitude as well as his combination of size and speed.”
