PINE BLUFF, Ark.- The University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff football program has announced the addition of 13 student-athletes who have signed National Letters of Intent to play for the Golden Lions.

"We are elated to be the position to bring in a list of several talented players that we feel can come in and make immediate impacts within our football program," said UAPB Head Coach Monte Coleman.

Arkansas-Pine Bluff expects to continue to receive additional letters of intent over the upcoming days. Today marked the official National Signing Day for prepsters across the country. For the Golden Lions coaching staff It was a day that was greeted with much optimism for the near future.

"Are coaches were extremely diligent in searching for the best possible student-athletes to bring into our program to address our needs both offensively and defensively. This signing class while not extremely large in numbers, is very rich with quality student-athletes that should be able to be productive in the systems we have in place on both sides of the ball."
