Ettrick, Va. (Feb. 7, 2024)- Head Football coach Dr. Henry Frazier, III and the rest of the Virginia State coaching staff showcased their recruiting efforts by signing 20Â freshmen. The newest Trojans put pen to paper on National Signing Day to bolster a squad that went 8-2 last season and won 4 of 5 home games and a win over D-1 Norfolk State.Â
If last year's class was "The Foundation Class," then this year's class is "The Solidification Class!" We have totally revamped our program into what I believe to be a force to be reckoned with! The coaches have done an outstanding job finding talented young men that fits the needs our program and who will become the best version of themselves at Virginia State University, where GREATER HAPPENS!Â
What excites me most about the 2024 signing class is that 20 of the 26 we have signed thus far are from the state of Virginia! Coach Frazier remarked.
