Rangers football adds 27 on National Signing Day

 

February 7, 2021



ALVA, Okla. – Northwestern Oklahoma State football Head Coach Matt Walter has announced the signings of 27 student-athletes to National Letters of Intent. The 2021 football signing class includes student-athletes primarily from Texas (9) and Oklahoma (8), with five coming from Florida.

"The Northwestern Football Coaching staff and I are very excited to be adding twenty-seven very talented student-athletes to our roster," Walter stated. "We were able to continue to recruit strongly locally and instate while broadening our pipeline to Texas and Florida. We addressed a lot of specific needs in all three phases of the game and young depth. This recruiting class cumulates a lot of hard work by many people in very different circumstances, from my staff to the administration, to the community, and the players themselves. Everyone adapted extremely well to the circumstances that we were in these past 10 months. Camps and spring recruiting were canceled this year, vastly changing how we recruit and develop relationships with the recruits and their families. My coaches developed relationships virtually in a lot of ways. I am proud of the recruits and how far they have come, yet their work has just begun."

National Signing Day is the first day of the football signing period that runs through the summer and ends on August 1. On the first day of the signing period, the Ranger coaching staff received NLI's from 12 offensive players and 15 defensive players.

Walter, who prepares for his sixth season, with the 2020 season, was canceled due to COVID-19. This spring, the Rangers are set to play a four game schedule starting on February 27.
