CHADRON, Neb. – The Chadron State football program has announced 39 new additions to the Eagle roster as part of their 2026 National Signing Day class.

Chadron State has signed 32 high school student-athletes on Wednesday who will join the team in fall 2026. Additionally, CSC has brought in seven transfers who are joining the team for spring ball.

"We brought in young men who are athletic, excel in the classroom, compete at a championship level and fit our culture," head coach Jay Long said. "This group gives us a strong foundation for the future of Eagle football."

The high school Signing Day class features 11 players from Colorado, seven from South Dakota, six apiece from Nebraska and Wyoming and one each from Texas and Kansas. The freshman class features 13 offensive players and 19 defensive players, including 10 defensive linemen.

The transfer class has a wider geographic footprint, with one Nebraska native but also three Californians and one player each from Arizona, Colorado and Florida. The seven-player transfer class includes two players with NCAA Division I experience and five offensive players.

"We felt like we addressed our immediate needs with our transfers, and then focused on recruiting our core surrounding states," Long said.
