The Lincoln University Lions football program has announced its initial group of signees for the 2020 season. Lincoln Head football coach
Josh Dean and his staff received NLI commitments from 18 players during the first two weeks of the signing period, addressing several needs as the team prepares for the 2020 season.
"We are very excited about our recruiting class," said Lincoln Head coach
Josh Dean. "Our goal is always to bring young men of character, grit, and championship mindset to our program. These young men fit the Lincoln University mold of having the ability to Learn, Liberate, and Lead."
"Our focus was to increase the depth on the offensive and defensive side of the ball as well as add to the talent that we already possess on our roster. Most of our early signees come from within the 100-mile radius of our university which we call the "Lion Zone" and we were especially targeting the Washington D.C., Pennsylvania, and New Jersey areas. We look forward to finish strong with our recruiting process and have our New Lions join us this fall."
Lincoln's signees for 2020 are listed below. This list will be updated as verification of additional signees is completed.
