"They're coming in to fill some needs for us," Holtz added. "We have not made the junior college route a steady part of what we do here, but we have gone that way in cases of need. This year, our biggest needs were at safety, on the offensive line and at quarterback. I feel really good about the three guys that we signed. Having them here in January is a huge bonus because they will have an opportunity to go through spring ball."
