Valley City (VCSU) Valley City State University football has signed 30 recruits for the 2021 season, head coach Dennis McCulloch announced Wednesday.
The VCSU football program made the announcement as part of college football’s National Signing Day. The incoming Viking class includes 29 freshmen and one college transfer. All have signed letters of intent to continue their football and academic careers at VCSU this fall.
“We’re always excited to welcome a new group of guys into our Viking Football brotherhood,” said McCulloch. “Our coaches have put in a lot of work to recruit this impressive group of young men. It will be a few years before we know the true impact of this class, but we know there are some guys who can contribute right away and it’s an exciting day to envision the future of our program.”
