CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. - Austin Peay State University's football program literally has gone far and wide in signing its most recent four recruits. In doing so the Governors added speed to their secondary and even more depth to their respective offensive and defensive lines.

The Governors have announced the signings of 6-2, 185 defensive back Steven "Key" Ragin, of Orlando, Fla;, defensive back/running back Dontavious Brown, of Albany, Ga., Gavin Willisson, a 6-3, 260-pound offensive lineman from Fairhope, Ala., and Iosua Siliva (pronounced Yo-SOO-uh, Kuh-LEAVE-uh), a 6-3, 252-pound defensive end, of Pago, Pago, American Samoa.

That brings the Govs 2010 recruiting class to 24. The Governors now have signed seven offensive linemen, five defensive linemen and six defensive backs among their recruiting class as they continue their efforts to replace the largest senior class (26) in school history.
