Seven Members of Class of 2026 Set to Join Men's Soccer Roster

HANOVER, N.H. — Bobby Clark Head Coach of Men's Soccer Bo Oshoniyi and his staff have announced the seven incoming members of the Class of 2026 set to join the program this fall.

The Big Green's incoming class is comprised of three forwards, two midfielders, one defender and a goalkeeper.

"We wanted to address our attack to create more goal scoring opportunities. We have brought in players that are proven goal scorers at the next level. It is an extremely diverse groups with players coming from across the world. I have extremely high expectations for this group both on and off the field. I feel that this group of young men will be able to make an immediate impact to our already deep roster.
