WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (Tribe Athletics) William & Mary head football coach Jimmye Laycock has announced the Tribe’s 2018 signing class, which includes eight student-athletes who have signed National Letters of Intent.

“We are excited about the eight young men who made the commitment to our program today,” Laycock said. “I expect they will impact our program for years to come. The staff did an excellent job of addressing our needs on both sides of the ball.”

The incoming class is comprised of players from four states. In addition to four signees from Virginia, the class also includes players from Pennsylvania (2), Maryland (1) and New Jersey (1).

The group consists of three offensive linemen, three defensive backs, a quarterback and a defensive lineman. W&M will open the 2018 campaign when it plays at Bucknell on Sept. 1.
