EC Men’s Soccer Announces 2021 Recruiting Class

EC Men’s Soccer Announces 2021 Recruiting Class

EUREKA – Eureka men's soccer coach Dwain Barker announced the addition of nine players to the program on Tuesday.

All nine are freshmen. Five are in-state talents, while three are from out of state. One is from the Netherlands. The Red Devils only graduated two players this year and expects to have plenty of returners coming back this fall.

"The buzz around the team is positive," Barker said. "We learned a lot as a group during the COVID-19 spring season. My returning players are very motivated to accomplish their goals and our incoming players are eager to solidify their position in the team.  We will have a good mix of in-state and out-of-state players that I know will make the program and supporters proud this season." 

Barker expects to announce the addition of several more recruits later this summer.
