Bluefield, Virginia- The Bluefield College Rams football announced earlier this week its first wave of the 2012 signing class who will be asked to compete at the Varsity level right away come the beginning of August at Bluefield. 

After a full season of scrimmages and exhibitions against other JV programs, the Rams will knock heads with big-time collegiate programs this coming Fall as Coach Gravier's program plans to compete well in the Mid-South in its first competitive season.

Bluefield has signed 25 of its players within the state of Virginia ranging from nearby Wytheville, Christiansburg and Blacksburg, and all the way to northern and eastern Virginia in Woodbridge and Newport News. 

The Rams have picked up top local players across the border in Bluefield, West Virginia with the signings of Drew Simon and Curtis Manns. Not only has Bluefield College made an impression locally, but also in the Roanoke Valley area specifically in Franklin County. Four players have signed on from Franklin to play with the Rams: Travis Pagans, Mason Maples, Chris hart and Lucas Thomason.

The coaching staff may have spent a lot of time within the commonwealth but they also snagged several highly-talented players from a range of different states including Florida, Missouri, Georgia, Ohio and Maryland. 

The Rams signed six different players from the Sunshine state to date including three from West Centennial High School in Port St. Lucie, Florida. The three players are Michael Nesmith (WR), Jonathan Poma (FB) and Anthony Herring (ILB). 

With a considerable amount of 'returning' players on the Rams side, BC has prepared to compete at the highest level. And as a result, the Rams have signed 42 different players in their initial announcement. Of the 42 signed so far, six of those players play either running back (4) or quarterback (2). 

Bluefield College is set to begin its preseason training camp on August 3rd. They will have 22 days to prepare for their home opener against Pikeville (Ky.) on August 25 at Mitchell Stadium. 

The football program is proud to officially announce these incoming players:
