GREENEVILLE, Tenn. --- Listed below are the 2015 Tusculum College Football Commitments announced head coach Frankie DeBusk on Wednesday.

"We have a very athletic class and we are very excited about the student-athletes who have joined our family," said DeBusk. "We recruited the State of Tennessee exceptionally hard and we got some very talented players in that area. We also recruited Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina and picked up some difference-makers. I think this class is not only made up of good football players, but they are outstanding people who want to earn a college education and be a part of the Tusculum College family."
