GRAMBLING, La. | The Grambling State Tigers football team solidified its recruiting class for national signing day with a total of 25 student-athletes. 18 of those athletes signed on Wednesday which is the official date of NSD 2020.


"First I would like to thank our President and everyone on campus who allowed us to bring these student-athletes on campus," said Grambling State head coach Broderick Fobbs. "It's definitely a family atmosphere here. The entire university, not just the football program, but everyone should be pleased that most of the parents and the student-athletes feel like Grambling is a family environment."

As for the recruits, Coach Fobbs expressed his excitement on Grambling's national signing day class of 2020.

"It is 2020, and I am pleased to say that this is probably one of the better classes that we've had in my stint here at Grambling State University," said Coach Fobbs. "Twenty-five really strong football players, some of them already on campus while others will be coming here once everything finishes up here in May."
