GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Furman head football coach Clay Hendrix today announced the addition of one more recruit to the program's 2021 signing class, joining the 15 recruits the Paladins inked during December's early signing period.

The latest Furman signee is defensive tackle Jordan Bass from Raleigh, N.C., a 6-foot-3, 290-pound product of Wake Christian Academy.  A two-time all-conference and all-state selection, he saw action in only the four games WCA played last fall due to the pandemic.

"Jordan Bass is a great addition for us and rounds out what we think is a very solid recruiting class," said Hendrix on Wednesday.  "He's exactly the type player we want in our program — talented athlete with solid potential and a fine student who understands the excellence that Furman offers in football and in academics."

Bass entertained 13 offers, including FBS members Army, Navy, and Air Force, before deciding on the Paladins.

Bass' signing represents the seventh defender inked by the Paladins in their class of 16 recruits, joining a pair of ends, three linebackers, and a cornerback.

Furman continues to prepare for its 2021 season opener, scheduled for Feb. 20 against Western Carolina.
