The 2014 class of Pioneer football players got off to a great start this winter when we had 9 student-athletes commit to Grinnell by February as a part of our Early Decision program. On May 1st, when our Regular Decision commitments are due, we hope to add more talent, depth, and skill to this already stellar recruiting class.
