June 27, 2022 | Football
WEST POINT, N.Y. – Army West Point football head coach Jeff Monken has welcomed the Class of 2026 to the program on Reception Day at West Point.
"We are thrilled to welcome the next generation of leaders into the Army Football Brotherhood," said Monken. "The Class of 2026 will contribute to our program's success this fall and in the seasons to come. This is a talented group of athletes who are outstanding students and young leaders that are committed to serving our nation as Army officers. Our staff did an exceptional job recruiting young men of high character from across the nation."
The Black Knights bring in 68 newcomers from 27 states to the squad with 13 coming from Georgia to lead the way.
The Black Knights, who went 9-4 last season including a bowl win over Missouri, start the 2022 season at Coastal Carolina on Saturday, September 3. The 12-game slate features six contests at Michie Stadium, as well as the Lockheed Martin Commanders' Classic against Air Force in Arlington, Texas on Saturday, November 5 and the 123rd Army-Navy Game, presented by USAA, in Philadelphia on Saturday, December 10.
Season ticket memberships are on sale now with packages priced as low as $160 per seat. A three-game mini-plan package is also available which allows fans the option to create their plan by selecting three games priced as low as $100.
