GRAMBLING, La. | Grambling State University head football coach Hue Jackson announced a school-record 35 student-
“This is an exciting day and time for our football team,” Jackson said. “We’ve put in a lot of work over the past month, identifying prospective student-athletes, hosting them on official visits and really showing them what Grambling State has to offer. I think you will be really excited to see who we signed and we are looking forward to seeing what they can do on the football field.”
Jackson landed 21 offensive players, including seven offensive linemen, six wide receivers, three running backs, three quarterbacks and two tight ends. On the defensive side of the football, the Tigers signed eight defensive backs, five defensive lineman and one linebacker. In addition, Jackson inked one special teamer, a long snapper.
Among the 35 players signed was the addition of Kajiya Hollawayne (UCLA), Ja’ron Waters (Oregon/Southern Utah) Maurice Washington (Nebraska) and Micah White (TCU as mid-year enrollees. The 16 student-athletes have been enrolled in the university this semester and will participate in spring practice and the annual Black and Gold Spring Game, which is set for April 2 at Eddie G.
