Head coach Brent Thompson

Opening Statement: "For my second year here, I am really excited about the 22 incoming cadet-athletes that we have. The signing class is a culmination of a lot of hard work by our coaching staff, by our support staff and The Citadel community. We've added a strong group of young men that understand the benefits of the time at The Citadel athletically, academically as well as within the corps of cadets. Collectively, this group has won a number of state championships. They have a ton of post season experience, so they understand the commitment it takes to be successful every day. Coming off two straight conference championships has allowed us to be in the conversation with a lot of different caliber students and athletes. That also puts us in the battles with schools we normally don't compete with on the recruiting trail and is also a very good positive for us. Overall, I am excited about the 22 young men that we added today."
