Huntington tight end Kendrick Rucker and wide receiver Zyion Claville signed with Louisiana Tech Wednesday.

The 6-foot-5 Rucker committed to Louisiana Tech in August, but Claville was flipped from his Marshall commitment by new Tech coach Sonny Cumbie. The 6-foot-3, 185-pound Claville caught 57 passes for 954 yards and 11 touchdowns this past season for Raiders coach Steve Dennis. He had 10 FBS offers.

"Zyion was finally healthy all year and his numbers reflect that,” Dennis said.

Claville decommitted from Marshall a couple of weeks ago, then visited Tech last week.
