Hampden-Sydney head football coach Marty Favret has released the list of 39 incoming freshmen set to report to for the 2010 season. The new faces will join the bulk of last year's team to try and defend the Tigers' 2009 undefeated ODAC Championship season. In order to comply with NCAA rules, the list of recruits includes only those student-athletes who have made deposits on tuition and are set to report in August for football camp and classes. The list includes players from six states, including North Carolina, Texas, Maryland, South Carolina and Georgia, while 26 players are in-state recruits. "We’re thrilled about the football class of 2014," said Favret. "We feel we’ve improved ourselves on both sides of the ball with some size and a host of playmakers. Though we have an experienced group returning this fall, I’d be surprised if some of these freshmen don’t contribute immediately.”
