Johnson City, Tenn. - The ETSU Athletic Department announced the signings of Brandon Calton and Allen Davis to National Letters of Intent to play football for the Bucs. Calton and Davis join 19 student-athletes who signed with ETSU on Feb. 2.

"Calton is a lineman that was offered by Pittsburgh, Iowa and North Carolina," said Head Coach Paul Hamilton. "He puts icing on the cake for our recruiting class. Davis has a chance to see time in the future since both Denario Smalls and Keyandre Fenn will be seniors this season."
