Football Unveils 2025 Signing Class Presented by Owen & Owens
12/04/2024 | Football
Richmond, Va. – University of Richmond head football coach Russ Huesman announced two new additions to the Spiders' 2025 signing class on Wednesday, as a part of National Signing Day's February signing period. These student-athletes will be eligible for competition starting in the 2025 season. Richmond's signing day is presented by Owen & Owens.
The 2025 class represents eight different position groups, with signees hailing from six states and two countries outside the U.S.
With a strong emphasis on defense, the class includes 10 defensive players out of 18 total signees. The defensive group features four defensive backs, four defensive linemen, and two linebackers. On the offensive side, the class includes one quarterback, two offensive lineman, one running back and three wide receivers.
The class also has a local flair, with three players from the 804 area code and an additional four from across Virginia. The class also features an Australian punter who comes from the same program that once developed All-American and All-Conference punter Aaron Trusler.
Once a student-athlete has signed their National Letter of Intent, each signee will be listed below in alphabetical order, along with a link to their highlight videos. Fans can follow along with the day's updates on social media by following @Spiders_FB on Twitter and @SpiderFootball on Instagram.
Richmond's offseason additions have also included two mid-year transfers in offensive lineman Mason Imbt from Saint Francis and wide receiver Jaiden Fair from Maryland. Read more on the mid-year transfers here.
