HAMILTON  — Fred '50 and Marilyn Dunlap Head Football Coach Stan Dakosty bolstered an already strong roster with the announcement of a talented class of incoming student-athletes on National Signing Day.

"Overall, today was a great day for Colgate Football," Dakosty said. "The momentum we took from the strong push at the end of the season really showed up in the final stretch of recruiting heading into this signing day. We have an incredible group of young men joining our program today. You can turn on their film and can easily see the talent, the grit, and that all of these guys love the game of football."

"On top of that, they are all phenomenal people," Dakosty continued. "We have a special culture here, and there is no doubt they'll add on to that and be great additions to what is already a very tight locker room. Our coaching staff worked tirelessly from last spring, through the summer, throughout the fall and up until today to sign this class. No one works harder than our staff. With that said, we'll welcome some more great additions to this class in February, so there is still more work to be done, but as of now, we'll celebrate today and welcome these future Raiders to the Colgate Football family!"

The pool of incoming Raiders hail from 13 different states and cover eight different positions on the field. Continue reading to learn more about the incoming Colgate Football Class of 2028.
