Jackrabbits add 19 for football
South Dakota State University football coach John Stiegelmeier announced Wednesday that 19 high school standouts have signed a National Letter of Intent or been accepted for admission, indicating they will enroll at SDSU in the fall and compete for the Jackrabbit football program.
“We are excited for two reasons,” Stiegelmeier said. “First of all, recruiting is intense for both the student-athletes and our staff, so the end is welcome. Secondly, the end is very special when we are able to welcome into our program a class of student-athletes like this. In this signing class, we have added all the ingredients we had hoped for our program. They will be an important factor in South Dakota State University football’s pursuit of excellence.”
