National Signing Day, Feb. 5 is one of the most important days of the year for college football fans and teams. It's the day that college-bound high school football players sign letters of intent for the university they will play for in the fall. Winston-Salem State inked 14 signings -- making the 2010 recruiting class the first since the University decided to pass on completing the transition and become a Division-I school and remain a member of the Mid-Eastern Atlantic Conference.

Stokes, who coached her final game Feb. 8, a 67-26 loss against MEAC rival Hampton, has been involved with coaching for 16 years and head coaching at WSSU since 2006.
