Three more verbals for the Blue Raiders 

Seniors Mike Minter (Atlanta/McNair), Jimal McBride (Waycross, Ga./Ware County) and Shane Tucker (Memphis, Tenn./University) are all on board with Middle Tennessee, according to multiple sources.

Minter is a 5-foot-11, 162-pound cornerback who picked MTSU over a scholarship offer from Buffalo and interest from Cincinnati, Duke and Georgia Tech.
