Stanford’s 2012 recruiting class is shaping up quickly, with three wide receivers joining the mix last week to bring the football team’s commit tally to nine.

Four-star Deante’ Gray, three-star Kodi Whitfield and two-star Connor Crane are three recruits that will help fill the void left by departing seniors Doug Baldwin and Ryan Whalen at the receiver position. All three signed on June 23 and look to bolster the Cardinal’s offensive prospects in the years to come.

Other standouts among Stanford’s 2012 class are four-star recruits Noor Davis and Alex Carter, ranked 18th and 115th in the ESPNU 500, respectively. Noor is projected to be the second-best outside linebacker in this year’s class, while Carter’s experience as a defensive back could translate to roles as a safety or another receiver.

Stanford is tied with Utah for fourth in the Pac-12 with nine recruits to date, behind Washington’s 15, Arizona State’s 12 and USC’s 10.
