VUU's Head Football Coach Dr.
Alvin Parker revealed 12 high school signees and seven mid-year signees who will be joining the Panther football team for the 2024 season.

""National signing day is a very exciting time," said Parker. "We are enthused about all the new student-athletes joining our program. Our coaching staff did an amazing job of identifying some great talent and high character ball players. We will continue to recruit and add throughout the signing period, but I'm very proud at what we were able to accomplish today."
