The Rock announced 10 mid-year transfer students that are already enrolled at SRU and will take part in spring practices, along with 15 incoming high school seniors that signed National Letters of Intent Wednesday to join the program in the fall. SRU added recruits from seven different states, including 14 from Pennsylvania. SRU added nine offensive linemen among 16 recruits on offense. They also added nine defensive prospects. Slippery Rock will host its annual Green vs. White Spring Game Friday, April 19th at 6 pm, which caps their spring practices.
One of the new recruits on defense is the son of SRU head football coach Shawn Lutz, Gavin, who was a standout player for Grove City. He was recruited as a defensive back for The Rock.
The Rock football program is fifth straight PSAC West title and fifth straight NCAA Playoff appearance. They have averaged 11 wins per season over the last five as well. The program has the second longest active streak of NCAA Playoff appearances at the Division II level.
