#THEBORO Football: 2021 Signing Day Central

EDINBORO, Pa. – Today, head coach Jake Nulph and his staff announce the newest members of the Fighting Scot football program on national signing day. The 2021 class is highlighted by 8 mid-year transfers and 19 high school seniors. In a pandemic year where recruiting had it challenges, Nulph and his staff managed to add 19 athletes from Pennsylvania, 4 from the state of Florida, 3 from New York, and 1 from Ohio.

The overall GPA for incoming high school recruits is 3.43.

"I would first like to thank my staff for all of their hard work and efforts. Because of them, we were able to add some really special people to THE BORO! I would also like to thank all of our families for being so supportive during this process. We spend a lot of hours on the phone communicating with these young men, which pulls us away from our family time. It takes special and understanding people in our homes to allow us to do this job. We are thrilled with the 2021 signing class for a lot of reasons. Not only are they talented players, they are great students and better people. These young men have displayed resiliency, toughness, character, and dedication not only on the field, but in the classroom. The challenges they had to face during this pandemic were unprecedented. It's a great day to officially welcome them to THE BORO!"

-Jake Nulph, Edinboro Football Head Coach

We could not be more excited to welcome these exceptional young men to the Fighting Scots Family. I cannot wait to see them in red and white excelling on the field and in the classroom. This has been a year filled with challenge and adversity, and this 2021 class has proven their grit which is who we are as Fighting Scots. I would also like to thank our coaching staff who worked tirelessly recruiting to secure this remarkable group of young men.

-Dr. Katherine Robbins, Director of Athletics
