July 01, 2024 | Football

WEST POINT, N.Y. – Army West Point football head coach Jeff Monken has welcomed the Class of 2028 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 2028 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 coaching staff did an exceptional job recruiting young men of high character from across the nation."

The Black Knights bring in 73 newcomers from 28 states to the squad with nine coming from Florida, Pennsylvania and Texas each to lead the way.

Last season, Army won the coveted Commander-in-Chief's Trophy for the 10^th time in school history by defeating an undefeated and ranked Air Force and then defeating Navy for the sixth time out of the last eight meetings.

The 2024 season will kickoff at Michie Stadium on Friday, Aug. 30 vs. Lehigh.

Single-game tickets are on sale now with tickets as low as $35 a game.
