MAGNOLIA, Ark. – Southern Arkansas football Coach Steve Quinn and his staff signed 27 players to national letters-of-intent Wednesday to join the Mulerider program. The class includes one junior transfer and 26 student-athletes who will be incoming freshmen this fall.
“We are very pleased with today’s results, everything came through as expected,” stated Quinn. “This recruiting class is very solid from top to bottom with some players that may compete for playing time this fall.”
“Our coaches did a great job in not only finding quality players, but also quality young men, and I want to congratulate them on their efforts,” Quinn added. “We are looking forward to the opportunity to work with this group of players.”
