HAMILTON, N.Y. (4/25/12) –
Dick Biddle, the Fred '50 and Marilyn Dunlap Endowed Coaching Chair for Football, announced today that 30 student-athletes have signed to play football for the Raiders in the Class of 2016.
The 30 student-athletes come from nine states – Florida (9), New Jersey (8), Pennsylvania (6), Massachusetts (2), California (1), Georgia (1), Illinois (1), Texas (1) and West Virginia (1).
“A number of the incoming players will compete for playing time and will be called upon this season,” stated coach Biddle. “I think this is a very talented group of student-athletes that meets our needs and should have an impact this fall.”
As listed by position, the Raiders add to their roster four offensive linemen, four running backs, two quarterbacks, four wide receivers, three tight ends, two defensive linemen, two linebackers, seven defensive backs, and two kickers – though several of the players played multiple positions in high school and could move to other positions once they arrive on campus.
