RENO, Nev. – Nevada Football opened the early signing period by signing 16 student-athletes into the Pack.
Wednesday’s group of signees features 12 prep standouts and four incoming transfers. Together, the group represents seven different states, and features two signees who call Washoe County home.
Linebacker Jackson LaDuke, a transfer from Oregon, is a Sparks native who put together a standout prep career at Spanish Springs High School. Wide receiver Marshaun Brown also comes from Nevada’s own backyard, joining the Pack from Bishop Manogue High School in Reno.
The 16 signees are split evenly on both sides of the line, eight apiece on offense and defense. The Pack’s signees on offense feature one quarterback (Jax Leatherwood), two running backs (Amine Amone, Conner Noah), two wide receivers (Brown, Nate Burleson II), and three offensive linemen (John Bolles, RJ Esmon, Josiah Timoteo). On defense, the Pack welcomes one defensive tackle (Sosefo Moeaki), a RUSH (D’Angelo Davis), two linebackers (LaDuke, Hezekiah Anahu-Ambrosio), two cornerbacks (Michael Coats Jr., Jonah Lewis), and two safeties (Journey McKoy, Bishop Turner).
A full roster, including bios and highlights, can be found at Nevada’s 2023 Signing Day Central page.
