Reinhardt Football Wraps Up Signing Day with 74 New Eagles!

Waleska, GA - Reinhardt University Football had a busy "off-season" reloading the roster for the 2025 season.  In total, the Eagles added 74 new players, with 12 of those players coming as college transfers. The remaining 62 are coming from the high school ranks and will be joining the squad in the summer of 2025.  The state of Georgia is well-represented in the group.

Reinhardt is coming off another Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) Championship, which was their ninth conference title in a row.  Coach James Miller and his staff have used this off-season to add necessary pieces to fill the roles that will be vacated by graduating seniors and graduate students. Depth at all the positions is a key to having success at the collegiate level, and the Eagles staff always does a great job at bringing the players in to fill roles and add depth.  This class is full of speed, size, power, and talent, which will continue Reinhart Football as one of the top programs in the AAC and the NAIA. In time, players will emerge from this class to be the next Tyress McKey, Keon McGhee, or Tyshun Jordan.

Coach James Miller had this to say about his 2024 recruiting class, "Always an exciting day to add new Eagles to the nest. Our staff worked extremely hard to put this class together for 2025. We were shorthanded as a staff with some changes taking place so a huge thank you is in order for Recruiting Coordinator Willie McCloud, OC Tyler Hennes and DC Barry Gardner. At one point, it was just those three coaches making this happen. We were able to add 12 guys from junior college, prep schools, and 4-year universities at the mid-year and another 62 from the high school ranks. Of the 74 guys we add to the program, 71 are from our home state of Georgia. We beefed up our Offensive & Defensive lines because as a staff that's where we believe football is WON. We also add hitters and playmakers to both sides of the field. These young men must understand now the hard part starts, and WORK to be a contributor to our program next fall. Thanks again to our staff, Mandy Cagle, AD Jonathan Burton for all their help."

The Eagles will begin the 2025 season on August 30th versus Florida Memorial at Ken White Field in Waleska.  The current players have already started preparing for that game, with spring workouts happening now on campus.  The team will have its annual Spring Game on Wednesday, February 26th.
