Skyhawks Ink 80 Players on National Signing Day

The Point University football team announced the signings of 80 high school players this past Wednesday on national signing day.

The Skyhawks will begin playing in the NAIA in the fall of 2012 and Wednesday kicked off this year's highly anticipated recruiting class. The recruits included seven local players of the valley area, where the Skyhawks play their home games, along with numerous other commitments from Alabama and Georgia. The 80 commitments are just the beginning to this year's class.

The recent commitments are listed below according to their position.

Director of football of operations and recruiting coordinator, Michael Ervin, was very pleased the University's first official signing day.

"We had a great group of guys commit to our growing program and I feel each of these recruits will help us as we look to move forward," stated Ervin. "While we still are looking to sign many more key additions, I feel strongly that this group of young men will help us continue to build on our foundation and will help push us forward towards a winning tradition."

Head coach Kevin Porter commented:

"I couldn't be more excited with our first official singing day. I know this is a great group of young men and we are thrilled with each of today's commitments. There's a lot of excitement and anticipation for the start of our first year as a varsity sport and we are looking forward to the fall of 2012."
