MONTEVALLO, Ala. - University of Montevallo head baseball coach John Jarnagin announced the first signing of 2010-11 recruiting class, Jeremy Boyte an infielder/pitcher from Gulf Coast Community College in Panama City, Florida. Boyte will join the Falcons as a junior in the Fall on 2010.

"We are very excited for Jeremy to join our program," said coach Jarnagin. "He's a great dual player and can play anywhere in the infield. He's also an outstanding student and shows great character on and off the field. He comes from strong high school and junior college programs. Coach (Jeff) Smith did an outstanding job recruiting him and Jeremy is a great start for the recruiting class of 2010-11."
