Womack became the Tigers' fifth addition this Fourth of July weekend to their 2023 class and third Monday alone.

Lawrence Central (Indianapolis) defensive end Joshua Mickens continued the momentum Sunday.

And Archbishop Rummel defensive back Ashton Stamps and Carver (Columbus, Ga.) defensive end Darron Reed joined the group earlier Monday afternoon.
