Cumberland tops off 2008 class
Head Football Coach Dewayne Alexander is pleased to announce the signing of 35 new student-athletes that have made a commitment to be members of the 2008 Cumberland Bulldog football team. "These young men represent what we are looking for in football players here at Cumberland University. On the field, they are talented and competitive. Off the field, they represent themselves, their families, and our football program in a possitive manner. These young men will fit in nicely with the outstanding young players that we have returning. I am already excited about the 2008 season!!!"
