The WWE has added 12 new recruits this week with two contributors coming from the college football ranks.

Former Syracuse offensive lineman Omari Palmer and Michigan receiver Ricardo Miller were introduced along with Samuel Shaw, Rachael Ellering, Trevor Lee, ACH, Karen Q, the tag team 3.0, Eliot Sexton, Jonah Rock and Nick Comoroto by the WWE this week.

The WWE’s training facility is located in Orlando, where the 12 recruits will train in anticipation for their potential wrestling careers.

Here is the official bio for the former college football players the WWE released following the news of their addition as recruits:

WWE’s new class pulls in two recruits from the gridiron: Omari Palmer and Ricardo Miller. Twenty-four-year-old Palmer is a 6-foot-3, 350-pounder who was a member of the Syracuse Orangemen’s offensive line. Originally from Coram, N.Y., Palmer also played basketball and lacrosse, as well as wrestled, in high school. The imposing big man attended a WWE Performance Center tryout in June 2018.

Miller, 26, was a speedy tight end/wide receiver who played at the University of Michigan (where he was a member of the 2011 Sugar Bowl Championship team) and, later, the University of Massachusetts. After college, he joined the Saarland Hurricanes in the German Football League. Standing 6-foot-3 and weighing 220 pounds, Miller, like Palmer, impressed WWE scouts at last June’s tryout in Orlando.
