ORANGEBURG, SC— South Carolina State head football coach Chennis Berry announces the addition of 13 new Bulldogs during the early signing period.
“Go Dogs! It’s a great day to be a Bulldog. We feel like we got better today with the young men that we signed with these new signees at South Carolina State University,” said Berry. “We are about chasing A’ s B’s Championships and Degrees and we feel these young men fit the profile on what we’re looking for.”
Berry noted, “We signed thirteen (13) young men that are game changers and the amazing part of signing them is that nine (9) of them will come midyear and we get a chance to develop them so they see how we train, lift weights, attend class so they can get acclimated to get on the field faster.”
“Out of those nine, we had a chance to put our eyes on six (6) of them because they attended our camp this summer,” stated Berry.” “I’m super excited about this class we really got better here as a program at SC State.”
