"We are real excited about this signing class. We lost only 11 Seniors off last year's squad; and structured our efforts in recruiting based on need. We will add a transfer Kicker, WR, and DE to this group in the fall. This group is loaded with talent and a few will play very early in their careers. We still have a few offers out on the table and hope to sign those guys in the very near future! Go Wildcats!" Head Coach, Mike Grossner
