Head coach Sparky McEwen said this about this year's class, "We have signed a class of student-athletes that will continue the proud winning tradition of DU football! This talented group of freshman athletes will make an impact immediately and in the near future. Recruiting has changed, the standard and expectation is at an all-time high, and this class comes in with the mindset of winners in the classroom as well as on the field. The transfers will begin their journey this spring as they are looking to help us with the goal of winning a GLIAC championship. The class of transfers are as talented as I have seen here at DU, and we can't wait to get spring underway and a chance to welcome all of our new Panthers to the family."

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Davenport University football program continued to build on its recent success by welcoming 43 signed student-athletes on National Signing Day, Wednesday, February 4, reinforcing a roster that has produced 20 wins over the past three seasons.
