Maxwell announced the signings of eight student-athletes in the class of 2022 on Monday.<br>
<br>
The incoming Bears represent eight different states, with six joining the Jumping Seat side and two joining the Western side. All eight in the class will come to Waco in the fall of 2022.<br>
<br>
“We are extremely excited about our 2022 recruiting class. After going through such a different recruiting experience due to COVID-19 last year, we appreciate this group’s patience as we worked to fill this class,” Maxwell said. “These signees did an outstanding
job taking their time to be certain that they selected a home that would best fit this next chapter of their lives. They bring a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to our program, and we can’t wait to get them on campus next fall.”<br>
