The Slippery Rock University football team announced 29 recruits or transfers will be joining the team on national signing day Wednesday. The Rock welcomed 10 mid-year transfer students who have already joined the team for spring practices. The recruiting class includes one high school senior that early-enrolled and is also at SRU for the spring, and 18 incoming high school students that will join the nationally-ranked program this summer.
The mid-year transfers and large signing class were expected after Slippery Rock lost a significant amount of talent with last year’s senior class, most of which stuck around an extra year to play their final season after the 2020 season was canceled. The Rock will open their season September 3rd against Wayne State.
