ISU football adds 27 to roster

Terre Haute, Ind.(WTHI) - TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — Indiana State head football coach Trent Miles has announced the addition of 27 student-athletes to the roster for the upcoming 2012 season on National Letter of Intent Signing Day.

 

Included in the class are three mid-year transfers and 24 high school seniors.

 

“I am extremely pleased with our fifth recruiting class at Indiana State,” Miles commented. “We were able to fill targeted positions, especially defensive line and quarterback, with young players that will have every chance to be successful in our program. I could not be any more proud of our coaching staff as they did a great job of not only selling Indiana State, but also of going out winning head-to-head recruiting battles with teams from the upper echelon of the Missouri Valley Football Conference. We were able to sign student-athletes that are good young men, great citizens and excellent students that will help continue the success of the Sycamore football program. We are at the point now where our program is normal in that these signees will able to develop under our coaching staff in the coming years. We are extremely thankful to everyone who helped us in the process of recruiting this talented group to come to Indiana State.”
