PVAMU Panthers Sign 20 Student-Athletes To National Letters Of Intent

A total of 20 student-athletes have signed national letters of intent to play football for Prairie View A&M University on Wednesday.

“Recruiting has gone well as we’ve met our critical needs,” said first-year head coach Heishma Northern. “I’m happy with our assistant coaches for going out and doing their due diligence as they did a fine job of keeping our class intact after the coaching change.”

Northern also mentioned the difference in recruiting as a head coach for the first time compared to being a coordinator.

“One of the first things that stood out was that I had to make the sales pitch of what myself and the program is going to do for the kids,” he said. “As a coordinator, my biggest thing was bringing players to the table and letting Coach Frazier decide but now I had to make the ultimate decision on whether we’re going to offer a particular kid and decide if the scholarship was going to be a full, partial or walk-on opportunity. I had to make some tough decisions regarding that situation but that comes with the territory of being a head coach.”
