National Signing Day 2013 is not even three weeks in the past and more than a dozen East Texas football players in the 2014 class have at least one Division I FBS offer.

Of those 13 players with at least on FBS offer, five have already committed, including one for baseball (Hemphill's Justin Twine). The latest commitment is Longview defensive tackle Zaycoven Henderson, who pledged to TCU on Sunday.

Henderson is 1 of 6 East Texans in the 2014 class who has at least three offers. Mount Pleasant receiver K.D. Cannon has 13 FBS offers, followed by Newton athlete Kevin Shorter with 10.

The 2014 East Texas appears to be one of the region's strongest in years. Two recruiting services (247Sports.com and Rivals.com) that already have 2014 state rankings out have the region with 12 players in the state's top 100, including 11 in 247Sports.com's top 75 in Texas.

But East Texas' 2014 class isn't limited to a select group of high-major recruits, nor is it limited to the 12 players with offers listed below. Many more prospects are expected to receive offers by the time the 2013 high school football season rolls around. ETSN.fm plans to maintain a list of all of them as they happen.
