NORFOLK, Va. – Old Dominion University football added three student-athletes on National Signing Day, head coach Ricky Rahne announced on Wednesday.
"Our program is excited to add three more talented players to our team. These three come from areas that we have worked hard to expand our profile. They also represent a much-needed addition of size and physicality," Rahne said. "We look forward to adding additional players in positions of need before the start of the season. Roster management has always been critical, and finding a fit from both a mentality and talent perspective will continue to be our goal."
