Carrollton, GA – The UWG Wolves have announced their 2018 football recruiting class. Head coach David Dean released a list of more than 30 recruits on the annual Signing Day, the first day that student-athletes are permitted to sign National Letters of Intent with colleges and universities.

Dean was pleased with the results of this year's recruiting. “We're excited about this group of young men who have chosen to be a part of our program,” said the coach. “It's also a great tribute to our staff and hours they have put into completing the work to complete this recruiting class.”

UWG's signing class consists almost exclusively of players from Georgia high school programs. Of the first 31 names announced by Dean, three were mid-year transfers, including two from Georgia. The other 28 were all high school players from Georgia.

Many of the newcomers come to UWG from the state's most successful programs. “Seven of our signees won state championships this past season,” said Dean, adding, “Three more of them played for a championship, and many others are from programs that made deep runs in the playoffs.”

UWG added five top offensive line prospects. The Wolves concentrated heavily on the skill positions, adding numbers in the secondary, wide receiver, and at running back. The common denominator of this group of recruits is speed. Says Dean, “I have said for years that you either have speed or you're chasing it. I want to have it.”

Though the Wolves announced more than 30 recruits on Wednesday, Dean said that a few more might be added to the list before UWG's signing class is complete.

The next item on Dean's agenda is completing the work on filling vacancies on his coaching staff, and then it's on to spring practice. UWG begins spring drills later this month, culminating with the spring game on March 15.
