PEMBROKE - The University of North Carolina at Pembroke signed seven football players to national letters of intent on Wednesday during the first day of the 2021 spring signing period.
 
UNCP, which returns a bulk of the starters off of its 2019 squad, found recruits on both the offensive and defensive lines, including six on the offensive front alone. The signees hail from three different states, including Florida, North Carolina and Virginia.
 
 "We did what we set out to accomplish to do with this signing class," Richardson said. "This (was) an opportunity to focus on some positions that are typically more difficult to get. The great thing is that some of those kids still have a senior year left to play. We get to still monitor and track them and go out and see them play. I really feel good about the seven guys that we were able to sign today."
