UND Football Introduces 22 Recruits
GRAND FORKS, N.D. – Head coach Bubba Schweigert announced 22 new additions to his North Dakota football roster on National Signing Day. Eighteen of those players signed National Letters of Intent on Wednesday, while the remaining four were guaranteed a roster spot for fall camp and committed to playing collegiately for UND.
“It is obviously an exciting day to see this class come together,” UND head coach Bubba Schweigert said. “Our staff logs a lot of miles and works really hard and today is the day they get to see all of that effort pay off. Overall, I think athleticism is what stands out about this group. All the way from the offensive linemen we signed to the defensive backs. We target certain body types and our staff did a great job of building early relationships with a lot of these players.”
