HICKORY, N.C. -- Lenoir-Rhyne Football Coach 
Mike Jacobs has announced the addition of 27 signees on National Signing Day today. The class is made up of 13 players from the state of North Carolina, six from Georgia, four from Florida, two from South Carolina and one each from Maryland and Ohio. 
The Bears added 15 players on the offensive side of the ball and 12 on defense. 
"I couldn't be more excited about the signing class," said Jacobs who was hired in January. "To be able to put together the quality and the depth of the kids that signed today in about 30 days is a testament to my coaching staff. We're really excited and met a bunch of needs across all three levels. We're looking forward to getting these guys up here now that they are officially Bears and getting their families involved in what we have going on."
