"Signing Day was a great day for the Trojans, but we are also very excited about these additional athletes," said Anderson. "We have only a few spots remaining to be filled, and we will post that information when we sign more athletes. I would also like to say thank you to all those who have helped us with our recruiting needs this spring."

Ridge Lindberg, DT – 6'2 – 260, Waverly High School, son of Dennis & Hope Lindberg of Strandburg, S.D., Coach Billy Kirch, Intended Major: Biology.
