EASTON, Pa. - Lafayette football has added 10 more student-athletes to the 2024-25 recruiting class, securing the commitments of 10 members of the Class of 2029 to along with two transfers. 

The Leopards had already announced the additions of 11 student-athletes in the early signing period in December, securing four after the new year and six more today to grow the incoming class to 21 with more expected to join in the coming months.

The group has four signees from New Jersey, three each from Florida, Pennsylvania and North Carolina, two each from Maryland, Texas and Virginia and one apiece from California and Louisiana. 

"Our program has added 16 new players to our program during the second signing period to give us a total of 27 in this class. We cannot publicly announce six of those players until they deposit for their enrollment," said John Troxell, the Fred M. Kirby II '42 Head Football Coach. "We are not done yet as we plan to add a few more students to our class. This is a group that has had major accomplishments throughout their high school careers and we believe they will have a great impact on Lafayette football over the next four years. We have said we want players who love school and ball and that is what you find with this class of recruits.
