The Ball State football team has announced the addition of three players to the roster that have signed grant-in-aid papers.
James Gilbert, Morgan Hagee and Jacob White will join the Cardinals as the second semester begins.
Gilbert, a 5 foot10 running back, graduated from Arsenal Tech in Indianapolis after setting the school's career rushing record. He was all-state as a senior and was the Indianapolis Public Schools Player of the Year in 2014.
Hagee graduated from Plainfield High School. A placekicker and punter, he earned three letters and was named to the Indiana Football Coaches Association Top-50 All-State Team.
White, a 2014 graduate of Hinsdale Central High School in Illinois, earned three letters as a linebacker. He was an All-West Suburban Silver Conference choice during his final two seasons.
"We are pleased to welcome Jacob, James and Morgan to Ball State as we begin the spring semester,” Lembo said in a statement. “These three young men are truly excited to join our football program and the Ball State community. By enrolling midyear, they will have an opportunity to begin bonding and competing with our returning players this winter and spring. We look forward to working with them in the weeks and months ahead to help them successfully adjust to life as an NCAA Division I student-athlete."
