Western Michigan’s football team is in Idaho, getting ready to play BYU in Friday’s Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.
Western second-year head coach Tim Lester took some time Wednesday morning to talk about his recruiting class that is highlighted by a strong group of receivers, led by four-star Cameron Coleman from St. Louis, three-star Damari Roberson of Muskegon Mona Shores, Marshawn Foster (Chicago) and Corey Crooms (Country Club Hills, Ill.).
Coleman, 5-foot-10 and 185 pounds and ranked No. 11 in the state of Missouri, bounced around in high school from Vianney High in Missouri his freshman and sophomore years to IMG Academy in Florida his junior year, then to Cardinal Ritter College Prep. Foster and Crooms join Roberson as three-star receivers. Foster was ranked No. 38 and Crooms No. 48 in Illinois; Roberson missed his senior season due to a knee injury.
“We really try to recruit two years out and I know we ended up moving Anton Curtis during camp to wide receiver, but we really had (D’Wayne) Eskridge, (Keishawn) Watson and Curtis all leaving us in a year so that’s why knew this would be a big wide receiver year because it’s not the senior class you’re replacing, it’s really your junior class you’re replacing,” Lester said.
