On National Signing Day 2023, 38 young men have a new home with the Lenoir-Rhyne football program.

“I am excited about the quality of depth of the players we signed,” said Head Coach Mike Jacobs. “Bears Nation should be excited about the depth these young men will provide our program.”

The defensive side of the ball allured the most number of talent with 18 players joining the Bears, with the linebackers being the lead position group this year with six signees. The offense accumulated 16 new athletes, with the wide receivers loading up with five new players this year. Lastly, special teams added four new members to the roster with all being listed as possible kickers.
