The Kent State football program recently announced the addition of three transfers to its 2017 signing class. The Golden Flashes inked offensive lineman Nate Warnock along with defensive linemen Devante Lee and Jordan Robinson.
Warnock played six games for St. Joseph's College, who will be closing at the conclusion of the spring semester. The 6-4, 290-pound native of LaPorte, Indiana will have three years of eligibility. A graduate of LaPorte High School, he was an IFCA Class 6A First Team choice and competed in the 6A All-Star Game. Warnock was also an All-Duneland Athletic Conference First Team selection.
"Nate's a big, strong guy who will compete for a spot right away," Head Coach Paul Haynes said.
Robinson will have two years of eligibility after playing two seasons at Fort Scott Community College in Kansas. A 6-2, 257-pound native of Jefferson City, Missouri, he tallied four sacks and forced two fumbles at Fort Scott.
"Jordan is a guy that's going to help us with our pass rush," Haynes said. "He could help fill the void losing Terence (Waugh)."
At 6-6, 290 pounds Lee brings the ability to play in multiple spots on the line. He began his collegiate career at Western Michigan and most recently played at Southern Illinois. The Chicago native graduated from Simeon High School, where he earned all-city honors. Lee tallied four sacks with two forced fumbles for Southern Illinois and has one year of eligibility.
"Devante played football in a very good conference at the FCS level," Haynes said. "He gives us size on the defensive line and brings great experience."
Kent State's incoming class now includes 25 players from 12 different states.
