Wednesday was a huge day for UAM football as they signed on 33 new recruits to join the program. The coaching staff couldn’t be happier with this year’s recruiting process and look forward to what’s to come.
Head Coach Hud Jackson had this to say:
“We are really excited about this signing class. We feel like we got better in a lot of different position. We are most excited about the quality of people that we’re gonna be bringing on our campus. We have signed some outstanding student athletes that believe in the direction of UAM football and in the direction of our great University. Go Weevils and eat’em Up!”
