Football signees welcomed at spring game

Super Warhawk Weekend not only brought out three Fs – family, friends and fans – it also brought out the future Warhawks.

The football team hosted several of its signees from the 2012 class as they attended the annual Maroon and Gold game.

“I’m loving it and am 100 percent into it,” said Jeff Savage, defensive end from Smackover, Ark. “This is my family now, so I’m just getting used to it.”

Savage along with his other new teammates are looking to come in and contribute right away this fall season, especially after looking at the competitive level the Warhawks showed Saturday at the game.

“It’s a good experience,” said Ajalen Holley, wide receiver from Hot Springs, Ark. “I’m ready to play and bring my skills here.”

The signees were hyped up about their first Warhawk football experience.

Their next time at Malone Stadium, they will be suited in Maroon and Gold cracking shoulder pads and helmets themselves.

“I’m ready to get out there and leave my mark on the field,” said Diontre Thomas, defensive end from Denton, Texas. “I want to do it all.”

The signees spent the day getting acquainted with each other and their future Warhawk teammates.
