The incoming class includes athletes from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois and North Dakota. The group also includes six athletes with local ties from St. Cloud Tech and Apollo High Schools, Sartell, and Folley High School. “We set out to fill our skill positions in this recruiting class,” said head coach Scott Underwood who completed his sixth season at the helm of the Huskies last fall. “We added depth, speed and quality athletes to our program. The receivers bring height to that position. We also brought in runningbacks on the offensive side. Defensively, we have linebackers and secondary players. On the offensive and defensive lines, we brought in mostly interior players.” Another addition is South Dakota State transfer and former Rocori High School quarterback Nate Meyer who transferred to St. Cloud State and began classes this spring semester. Meyer led the Spartans to the 2011 State title. The 2013 Huskies set a single season record for wins finishing the season 12-2, breaking the old record of ten, a mark the Huskies reached twice.
