Wheaton, Ill. - Head coach
Mike Swider and the Wheaton College football staff have announced the addition of 42 newcomers that have submitted their deposit to attend Wheaton College, with the intent to play for the Thunder football team beginning in the fall of 2015. The large group of newcomers will join the Thunder football program following a 10-0 regular season and CCIW Championship in 2014.
Swider, the 2014 CCIW and AFCA North Region Coach of the Year, states of the group, "It is with great excitement that Wheaton Football welcomes the addition of 42 new athletes to our team. This group includes 37 freshman and 5 transfers, representing 15 different states. This year the states providing us the most recruits are Illinois, California, Texas, and Indiana. There is no doubt that this current group of new players, combined with last year's recruits, represent the best back-to-back classes we have had in my 30 years here at Wheaton. These classes not only have numbers, but are also filled with some exceptional athletes."
The veteran Wheaton head coach adds, "We will enter the fall with 120 players on our roster, making it Wheaton's largest team ever. What I am most excited about however is how God continues to provide us with young men who are not only good football players, but also men who are also yearning to grow in their walk with Jesus. They are highly motivated spiritually, academically, and athletically. They will represent Wheaton College well."
