The Bears (10-2, 7-1 SoCon), who will make their third-straight appearance in the NCAA FCS Playoffs beginning on Saturday, found recruits at seven different positions, including a quartet of additions on both the offensive and defensive lines. The signees hail from five different states, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
"We couldn't be more excited to add the newest Bears to our den," said head coach Mike Jacobs. "There is a ton of work that goes into a successful class, and so many across our campus helped to make it happen."

Additional signees are expected and will be announced at a later date.
