INDIANAPOLIS – With National Signing Day upon us, the University of Indianapolis football coaching staff announced its latest recruiting class Wednesday. Head Coach Bob Bartolomeo and his assistants welcomed 41 incoming freshmen to the program, one of the largest classes in Bartolomeo's eight-plus years as the Greyhound head man.

See below for a complete list of recruits and their bio information, click the links above to get Coach Bart's take on the class, and click here to view Coach Bart's Twitter timeline for pictures of the new additions.

The new Hounds will be joining a team that finished an historic season in 2017, one that included the program's first undefeated regular season in 64 years. The Hounds, who were ranked 13th in the final 2017 AFCA Division II Coaches Poll, captured their fifth Great Lakes Valley Conference championship and earned a fourth playoff berth in the last six years.
