The Playbook - Inside the Game Plan for Tulane Football

Hurricane Katrina devastated our recruiting and player development efforts. Many recruits de-committed and our team was without a weight room for multiple months. When hired, Coach Toledo was instructed to keep all commitments Tulane had made, many of whom have gone on to become some of the best ambassadors this school has ever seen. We have not had the luxury to redshirt as many players as he would have liked and this is why we have fielded a young team each year. Since that time, the program has made huge strides in recruiting, which equates to increased talent and added depth.
