BUIES CREEK, N.C.- The Campbell football program announced its 2011 recruiting class this morning, June 2. The 27-member group has all signed letters of commitment and all have also completed enrollment requirements for the university. This is the fifth official signing class for Coach Steele and the Camels, who will begin play this fall with a road game against Old Dominion on September 3rd at 6 p.m.

"We are pleased with the additions to the football team that we made", head coach Dale Steele explained. "This is the first time that we have been able to bring in a class that had players at every position. Ideally this is what you set out to do when recruiting. In the past we have been forced to bring in a lot of players in an effort to fill a roster. This season we had the opportunity to be more specific in filling the team with players that will have the opportunity to move up the depth chart quickly and compete for significant playing time when the seniors graduate next year. We brought in a good number of wide receivers, but we also recruited one offensive lineman at each position. We added a few defensive linemen to add depth to the position. We added a few linebackers in this year's class because the change in scheme in the off-season dictated that it was a need. "

The class includes 21 North Carolina natives, two from South Carolina and Georgia and one from Virginia and Texas.

Campbell's football team reports to campus on August 1st. The Camels' first day of practice will be on Wednesday, August 3rd in the morning in shorts. Campbell will host Fan Appreciation/Media Day on Saturday, August 27th at the CU Football Fieldhouse at Barker-Lane Stadium. All fans are welcome to meet and take pictures of the players, coaching staff and the facility at that point. Further details about the event will follow in a later release.

The Camels will return 44 letterwinners and 16 starters from last year's team including all-Pioneer Football League Second Team selections in offensive lineman Sam Issermoyer, defensive lineman Randel Herring and defensive back Jared Hart.
