"Overall, I'm really pleased with our signing class. Top to bottom. This is our most talented class to date," said Head Coach
Shane LaDage. "We got Faster at the skill positions with this class, and bigger up front on both sides of the ball. We also continued our trend of recruiting young men who excel in the classroom."
The Chargers signed seven players from the state of Iowa with three prepping at local Woodbury County high schools. Three players hail from the state of Nebraska, and one from South Dakota.
Three student-athletes have come from Jourdanton High School in Jourdanton, Texas.

Joseph Casarez. The Chargers also received letter of intents from local East high standout
Blake Hogancamp, and Woodbury Central's
Jackson Reblitz.

Jordon Williams. On the backend, Briar Cliff added local North product
Dayton Harrell,
Jasiah Garza,

"We will still work to add a few more guys to this class, but we are a few guys away from being done with this class!" I can't thank our staff enough for their hard work, along with our admission department and our faculty who do a great job of helping us throughout the recruitment process!" said LaDage.
