Delta State University

CLEVELAND - Delta State University head football coach Ron Roberts and the Statesmen program will welcome 18-25 new players to the fold starting Wednesday, as student-athletes across the country sign national letters of intent. DSU added 22 junior college transfers in January as well.

“I’m very pleased with the effort our coaches put into recruiting this year and I think it shows in the quality of player we signed today,” stated Roberts. “Bringing in 22 mid-year transfers cut down on our numbers a little today, but we signed some exceptional student-athletes that will help us get back on top in the Gulf South Conference and NCAA Division II.”

A complete list of Wednesday’s signees is listed below. The entire 41-man class, including mid-year transfers, is available on www.GoStatesmen.com.
