Baylor head soccer coach Marci Jobson announced the signing of nine student-athletes to National Letters of Intent and two invited walk-ons Wednesday. The class, made up entirely of high school student-athletes, includes nine from the state of Texas.

"I am very excited about my first recruiting class at Baylor University", Jobson said. "I believe this class will continue to build on the core that we established in year one and contribute to our overall athleticism and competitiveness as we move this program forward."

The 2009 class is comprised of two club national champions, five club state champions, a 2008 Golden Boot Winner, a U.S. Region Team member, two U.S. Region Pool players, and a 2008 High School Scholar All-American. The 11 student-athletes will look to continue the vision set in place this past fall. The 2008 team finished with a 5-10-3 overall record including a win over Nebraska and a double-overtime tie with No. 8 Texas.
