ETTRICK, Va. (February 15, 2019) -- The Virginia State University Department of Athletics, under the helm of third year head football coach
Reggie Barlow, has announced the signing of 17 student-athletes to the binding National Letter of Intent.
"We're excited with this young group of talent joining the Trojans football program," said Barlow. "Recruiting season is a fun time to bring potential students on campus, introduce them to the athletic program and team. With the program losing some key players, the group that we are bringing in will help set the foundation needed to move the program forward for the upcoming years."
Of the 17Â new Trojans, 13 are native to the state of Virginia. Two are products of Georgia. One is from Washington, D.C and Baltimore, Maryland.
 Here is a list of the currently committed signees.
