Bulldog football signs 24 on National Signing Day
SMITHFIELD, R.I. – Bryant University Athletics and head football coach Marty Fine are excited to announce the signing of 24 players on National Signing Day. This group will make up the Class of 2020 and join the Bulldogs this fall.
This class includes student-athletes from 10 different states, including seven signees from New England. Bryant has always recruited players that are leaders on the field and in the classroom and this class is no different, as it features 17 former captains. There is one QB, three RBs, three WRs, one tight end, nine linemen, two linebackers, four defensive backs and one kicker.
"We are thrilled to announce the incoming Class of 2020," Fine said. "This class once again represents everything that Bryant football stands for; dedication, commitment, leadership, community and academics. There are 17 members of this class that were captains in high school and there are 18 that were either a member of the National Honor Society or a Honor Roll student, and we take a great deal of pride in recruiting those type of players. This class fills needs within our program and will continue to build on the level of excellence that we have established here at Bryant University. We can't wait until these young men are on campus this fall."
