2010 UAPB Football Signees
PINE BLUFF, Ark.- The University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff football program has announced the addition of 17 student-athletes who have signed National Letters of Intent to play for UAPB. The list of signees consists of 11 high school prepsters and six junior college transfers.
“We’re pleased with the young men we were able to bring into our football program,” said Arkansas-Pine Bluff Head Football Coach Monte Coleman. “We feel like we did a great job of addressing our needs both offensively and defensively. Boosting our core of linebackers and defensive backs was one of our top priorities on defense. Offensively we wanted to add depth at wide receiver and our other skill positions.”
Coleman believes this year’s recruiting class will bolster the Golden Lions attack on both sides of the ball next season and during the years to follow.
“All of the players we signed ranked very highly on our recruiting board,” added Coleman. “Several players on our list will have the opportunity to contribute for us immediately.”
Last season Arkansas-Pine Bluff concluded their 2009 campaign with a 5-5 overall record while going 3-4 in Southwestern Athletic Conference play.
