Coach Speir's comments on Wednesday's signing day

"We're excited to welcome these football players to the Catamount Nation today," said WCU Head Football  Coach Mark Speir on Wednesday.

"We feel like we addressed a lot of our football team's needs on both sides of the ball with quality student-athletes. Today is the culmination of a lot of hard work not only by our coaching staff, but also the efforts of our Catamount Club, the staff across our campus and our administration."

Speir added, "A lot of these players are coming from quality, winning programs and have experience with winning state championships at the high school level. We feel like each one of these recruits is a winner and is going to help our program reach new heights."

"Offensively, we feel like we added a lot of depth to a productive unit. On defense, we feel like we've brought in players that have an opportunity to make an immediate impact on the field this fall," said Speir.

The Catamount football team is scheduled to break winter gym and open its annual spring drills on March 13 with the NCAA-mandated 15 practices to be spread over five weeks. Practice will culminate with a spring event tentatively scheduled for Saturday, April 20 in Cullowhee.
