Rams Picked to Ninth in AFCA Division II Coaches’ Poll
WSSU earns top 10 preseason pick after historic season
WACO, TX – The Winston-Salem State Rams were picked ninth in the American Football Coaches of America (AFCA) Division II Coaches' Poll. After posting a 13-1 record in 2011 and finishing at #3 in the final AFCA poll of the 2011 season, the expectations remain high for the Rams heading into this season.
Though the team will head into the season with a top-10 ranking, the team still has a lot to prove after finishing the season ranked third and coming just one game shy of competing for the NCAA Division II National Championship.
The Rams will begin their quest to move up the rankings on September 1st when the team hosts the UNC-Pembroke Braves in a 6:00 p.m. game at Bowman-Gray Stadium.
