KALAMAZOO, MI -- Where the Western Michigan football program's 2015 recruiting class ranks nationally is up for debate based on which recruiting website you visit.

What's hard to question is how strong of a class second-year coach P.J. Fleck and his staff are putting together for the second consecutive year.

After WMU recruited and signed the highest-rated class in Mid-American Conference history last year, the energetic Fleck has continued to preach what recruits want to hear.

According to Rivals.com, WMU's 2015 class of 25 players ranks 53rd in the country and features seven 3-star players.

If you were to look at 247sports.com, you would see Western Michigan's class ranked 61st in the country and featuring 12 three-star athletes.

Both websites agree the Broncos' 2015 class is the best in the Mid-American Conference for the second consecutive year.

The Broncos are roughly 15 scholarship players short of the NCAA limit of 85 this season. The 2015 class will help with the process of building depth and there are likely to be impact players in the group.

Many of the freshmen in the 2014 class have played and helped the Broncos win six games this season after a one-win campaign last year. Freshman Jarvion Franklin is the second-leading rusher in the country and his 22 rushing touchdowns leads the country.

It's hard to say if there is another superstar in the next class, but there are several highlights of the 2015 class.

Justin Tranquill, a 5-foot-11, 195-pounder from Fort Wayne, Ind., who is the one of the top-10 players in the state and is listed as a safety/athlete.

Tranquill had other offers from Central Michigan, Cincinnati, Eastern Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Northern Illinois, Purdue and Toledo.

LeVante Bellamy is a 5-9, 165-pound athlete from Indianapolis, who is ranked as a top-10 player in the state of Indiana. He had other offers from Ball State, Cincinnati, Indiana State, Miami (Ohio), Middle Tennessee State, Ohio and Toledo.

WMU has 11 commitments from Michigan high school players, including 3-star offensive lineman John Keenoy from Grand Rapids, 3-star quarterback Jon Wassink from Grand Rapids and two-star running back/athlete Alex Grace from Saginaw.

Per NCAA rules, Fleck cannot comment on unsigned players.
