2020 Edinboro Football Signing Day Central

EDINBORO, Pa. – Fans of Edinboro University athletics can follow all of the action of signing day on our official athletics' website – GoFightingScots.com. The website will update the 2020 National Signing Day activities as signings come in on Wednesday, February 5.
 
Jake Nulph took over as head football coach just over two weeks ago, but he is excited with the quality of recruits his staff has been able to attract in a short span of time. "This is an exciting day in THE BORO!" related Nulph. "This signing class is special to me for obvious reasons. They are trusting in me and my vision of Edinboro football. They are not just good players, but they are even better people."
 
In addition to following GoFightingScots.com, fans can receive updates through the official Twitter account of Edinboro Football - @Edinboro_FB. We encourage fans to interact via social media and help us welcome the newest signees throughout the day by using #THEBORO.
