SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Head coach Michael Linenberger and the Sacramento State men's soccer team announced five new additions for the 2017 season. They join another group of five newcomers signed to National Letter's of Intent in February.
"We're excited about our final five guys that we have committed for next Fall," Linenberger said. "We knew we needed to bring in a big group after losing 10 seniors, so we had the initial five guys we signed in February and we've been working the last few months to sure up the rest of the recruiting class."
The new group includes four freshmen and one junior college transfer. Jack Larter, who hails from Norwich, England, joins the Hornets after playing two seasons at Lake Tahoe Community College.
Dennis Cole, a native of Sierra Leone that went to high school in Los Olivos, joins the team as a freshman as well as Logan Place from Tucson, Arizona and Californians Omar Oseguera and Omar Jiron. Oseguera joins his twin both, Ivan, who will also be starting at Sacramento State in the fall.
