TUSKEGEE, Ala. - Tuskegee University head coach
Willie Slater announced the signing of 16 student-athletes who will join the football program next season as part of National Signing Day on Wednesday.
The class consist of five offensive lineman, four defensive lineman, two linebackers, three wide receivers, one tight end, and a quarterback across eight states. The Golden Tigers stayed in sweet home Alabama to sign seven student-athletes, two hail from Georgia and Mississippi, while one each from Florida, Michigan, Tennessee, California, and New Jersey.
"I'm very excited about the group we got coming in. We addressed a lot of needs. I Can't wait to get them on the field..." - Coach Slater, Head Football Coach
"I think we hit in some areas where we needed production right away. Overall, I think we got a bunch of good football players that's willing to buy in of what's expected to win a championship here at Tuskegee. We will continue to shake those bushes and plug one or two guys in that slip out of our hands down the stretch of the recruiting trail." - Coach Powell, Recruiting Coordinator
