(STATS) – South Dakota State added 10 players, including a pair of transfers from Power-Five programs, to its 2019 recruiting class on Wednesday.
Among those joining coach John Stiegelmeier’s program were Nebraska transfer kicker Cole Frahm and Arizona State transfer quarterback Kurt Walding.
The first 15 members of the class were announced in December. They included three-star defensive tackle Jarod DePriest from Trivoli, Illinois.
“We set out many months ago to fill certain needs and we have accomplished that with this class,” Stiegelmeier said. “As always, our assistant coaches have done a phenomenal job getting to know each student-athlete and their families. The expectations for this class will be high, as they are for our entire program.”
The Missouri Valley Football Conference power finished 10-3 last season while advancing to the FCS semifinals for the second consecutive year.
