UIW focuses on replenishing core players with 2023 recruiting class

Clint Killough didn’t have very long to recover following UIW’s 35-32 loss to North Dakota State in the FCS semifinals. The loss was disappointing, but Killough and his staff needed to turn their attention quickly to recruiting after losing Walter Payton Award winner Lindsey Scott Jr. and other key players to graduation.

“We lost about 14 guys to graduation. You're talking about guys that are four and five-year UIW Cardinals,” Killough said. “You're talking about guys like Kelechi Anyalabechi and Cam Preston, who are core pieces of our team.”
